Home Seller Services

Getting an appraisal from A.M. Appraisal before putting your Orange County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few CA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining 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 problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is much more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
