Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Frezno Appraisal Group will ensure you get it right.

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 a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

You're probably, as a homeowner, focused on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more California homeowners are choosing 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 professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, 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 realistic 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
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
