Selling your home in or near Manatee County? Contact S&N Appraisal, Inc and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

Quite a few Florida 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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to be objective about your 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have originally banked. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
