Appraisal services for home sellers - Carolynn Ulrich

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Carolynn Ulrich.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few CA homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it's very 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
