Getting an appraisal from A. Marvin Appraisals, LLC before putting your Brownville home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays 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 get a handle on their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few New York homeowners are making the decision 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very hard 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 sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have originally gotten. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust 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.

You may have a very talented agent, but it's in your best interest to get an unbiased second opinion of your home's value before finalizing a listing contract. And that's where A. Marvin Appraisals, LLC comes in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a precise description of your home's characteristics and a detailed breakdown of the most recent and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
