Putting a house on the market in or near San Bernardino County? Contact Abandy & Associates Appraisal Services and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of California homeowners are deciding 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 top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. You need an objective opinion, it can be very hard to be objective about 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment 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 - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
