Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from J DeMars Real Estate Appraisal.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more New Jersey homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at 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 sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional 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 them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
