Appraisal services for home sellers - Ray Hall Appraisals

Getting an appraisal from Ray Hall Appraisals before putting your Hillsborough County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

More and more FL 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 the best price, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard 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 realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
