Appraisal services for home sellers - Associated Appraisal Services, LLC

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

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 studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more LA homeowners are deciding 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, what you need is 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 inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract 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
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal 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 waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
