Appraisal services for home sellers - Peters Appraisal

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Peters Appraisal.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of NE homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
