Appraisal services for home sellers - Bob Blake Appraisal Co., Inc.

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Bob Blake Appraisal Co., Inc..

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 spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading 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 on your own?

Quite a few VA homeowners are making the decision 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult 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 astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
