Selling on your own?

Quite a few VA homeowners are deciding 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, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard 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 sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally.
