Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Jim Murray Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional 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 their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. A home is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few New York homeowners are making the decision 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at your 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 sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
