Home Seller Services

Putting a house on the market in or near Orange County? Contact A.M. Appraisal and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, 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've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

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

More and more CA 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, quickly and for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at 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 sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
