HOME SELLER SERVICES

If you are planning to sell your home, it might be a wise decision to make a small investment in a professional appraisal.  Unless you study real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for you to get a handle on real estate values.  It's not about how much you have invested in your home, how much you paid for it, or how much you want for it. It's about the true market value of your home, which could really pay off for you in the long run. Mr. Randazzo, our chief of staff, is a Licensed Real Estate Agent as well as a Certified Appraiser. Also on our staff is a Real Estate Broker, who is also a Certified Appraiser.

SELLING YOUR HOME FSBO
Selling your home on your own will require a significant amount of "homework" if you're going to do it right.  One piece of advice that is consistently given by the experts in selling your home FSBO....Do NOT "Overprice" Your Home! It's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it.  A Professional Appraiser is objective and will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

PRE-LISTING APPRAISAL
If you’re working with a real estate agent to list your property, more than likely  they’ll provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that lists selected sales in your area as one of the first steps in determining what to set as the “Listing Price".  This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home’s time on the market. In todays market, it is vital that the property not be overpriced or the DOM, days on market will grow, which could have a negative affect on its marketability.

 By having a pre-listing appraisal, even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's probably in your best interest. The result is to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement. As a result, you will have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar "comparable sales", and in tody's martket, those now under contract or those very similar listing which may be lower than the most recent similar sales. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts.
