Putting a house on the market in or near Bucks County? Contact Elite Appraisals (215) 431-6123 and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more Pennsylvania homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it's very difficult to take an objective look at your 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
