Getting an appraisal from COOPER RESIDENTIAL SERVICES before putting your Rixeyville home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

You could be focused on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is going to give you.

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

An increasing amount of Virginia 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
