Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Adams Appraisals.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of CA homeowners are choosing 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is 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 tell you 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:

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

You may have an extremely experienced agent but it's definitely a good idea to have an unbiased second opinion of your home's value to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Adams Appraisals comes in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have a precise description of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the newest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
