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

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

You're probably, as a homeowner, fixated on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Something is only worth the price another person is willing to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

An increasing amount of New Jersey homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide
It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have originally gotten. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
