Appraisal services for home sellers - Brian B Elliott Appraisals

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Brian B Elliott Appraisals.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few OR homeowners are deciding 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 for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. 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 explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
