Appraisal services for home sellers - Sean Metcalf

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

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

An increasing amount of AZ homeowners are deciding 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 skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, it's very hard to take an objective look at 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool when you find 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 stall a closing
Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
