Putting a house on the market in or near Essex County? Contact J DeMars Real Estate Appraisal and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. A home is only worth what another person is going to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more New Jersey homeowners are choosing 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 for the best price, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult 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 sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
