Pre-Listing Appraisals
Homeowners who decide to list their property for sale without the assistance of a realtor often rely on websites like Trulia or Zillow to determine what their home is worth. Unfortunately, this data is often unreliable and may cost an owner thousands because they incorrectly priced their home. Hiring an independent and licensed real estate appraiser will provide the owner with an unbiased and objective valuation analysis and give the owner an effective tool when negotiating with their prospective buyers.
Finding out the real market value of the property would pay off in the long run, and this should be done with professional help. A qualified and licensed appraiser should be called in to assist with a property valuation. It would be a wise decision to make a small investment in a professional appraisal. Unless you study real estate values on a day-to-day basis, as a professional appraiser does, it’s difficult for you to get a handle on real estate values. The present market situation is seeing more and more homeowners selling off their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) without the intervention of a real estate agent to escape the noose of a potential “hefty” commission to (industry average is 5-7% of the home’s selling price) the agent. Not having to deal with a “middle man” also puts the seller all in control of his property which he feels he best knows.
