Appraisal services for home sellers - Mark Schofield Appraisal Services

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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of FLORIDA (FL) 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, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, it's very difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an 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 instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
