Selling your home in or near Hillsborough County? Contact True Value Appraisal, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

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

You could be focused on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more Florida 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, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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 selling 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
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
