Appraisal services for home sellers - Island House Appraisals Inc

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Island House Appraisals Inc.

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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few FL homeowners are deciding 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 for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated impression of their home's value, 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 rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
