Appraisal services for home sellers - Williamson Appraisals

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Williamson Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

More and more FL 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it can be very difficult to be objective about your 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 selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically 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, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
