Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Appraisal Nerd.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few Virginia homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at 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 astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
