Getting an appraisal from Compass Appraisal before putting your Crawfordville home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you 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 get a handle on real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few Florida 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 for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very difficult to take an objective look at 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
