Appraisal services for home sellers - Jackson Appraisal Services

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Jackson Appraisal Services will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more CA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very difficult to take an objective look at 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 asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically 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, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
