Getting an appraisal from Chris Wagoner before putting your Leesburg home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of IN 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult to be objective about your 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 selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
