Appraisal services for home sellers - Marsh Appraisal

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

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. 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 hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few FL homeowners are choosing 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. 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 tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
