Appraisal services for home sellers - Robert Eldredge

Selling your home in or near Broward County? Contact Robert Eldredge and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of FL 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, 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 inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
