Selling your home in or near Bucks County? Contact Stephen J. Craney and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
