Getting an appraisal from Accu Value Appraisals before putting your View Park home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

You're probably fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

More and more California homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal 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 your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
