Appraisal services for home sellers - Spencer Appraisal Services, Inc.

Getting an appraisal from Spencer Appraisal Services, Inc. before putting your Montgomery 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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few PA homeowners are choosing 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, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust 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
