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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

More and more New Jersey homeowners are deciding 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 for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
