Appraisal services for home sellers - A1 Appraisals

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Seid Appraisals.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more CA homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You might have a highly talented agent but it's definitely a good idea to have an unbiased second opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. And that's where Seid Appraisals comes in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's characteristics and a detailed breakdown of the most recent and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
