Selling your home in or near Ventura County? Contact SoCal Home Appraiser and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

More and more CA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about 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 realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

You may have a highly experienced agent but it's definitely a good idea to have an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where SoCal Home Appraiser comes in.
