Getting an appraisal from Michael Proud before putting your Port Richey home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few FL homeowners are choosing 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, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very hard 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 realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
