Appraisal services for home sellers - Shoemaker Appraisal Services

Getting an appraisal from Shoemaker Appraisal Services before putting your West Jefferson home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few NC homeowners are choosing 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very 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 selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
