Putting a house on the market in or near Delaware County? Contact Appraisal Life, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is going to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

An increasing amount of Ohio homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
