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

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is going to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more New York 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that 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.

In addition to helping you set a sound asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

Even if you're working with an extremely talented agent, it's definitely a good idea to get an objective third-party's opinion of your home's value before signing a listing agreement. And that's where Nace Appraisal Group comes in. An appraisal can be indispensable in a scenario like this. You and your agent will get a comprehensive description of your property and its features which will give you insight into the health of the local real estate market with a record of recent comparable properties in the area.
