Appraisal services for home sellers - ValuAppraisal

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

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. 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 difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more CA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult to be objective about 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 so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people to discover 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. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then 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. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You might have an extremely experienced agent but it's definitely a good idea to get an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. ValuAppraisal can help.
