Appraisal services for home sellers - Shane Barlow

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Shane Barlow.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of MA 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, it's very hard 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 astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out 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 thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
