Appraisal services for home sellers - First Region Appraisal, LLC

Selling your home in or near Essex County? Contact First Region Appraisal, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

More and more VA 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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
