Appraisal services for home sellers - Appraisal Group of Central Virginia

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Appraisal Group of Central Virginia will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money 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 fully grasp local real estate values.

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.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more VA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very difficult 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.

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

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
