Appraisal services for home sellers - Reitzler Appraisal Services

Getting an appraisal from Reitzler Appraisal Services before putting your Wayne County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of IN 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult 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 astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
