Appraisal services for home sellers - Manderfield Appraisal Group

Getting an appraisal from Manderfield Appraisal Group before putting your Alexandria home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few VA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need 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 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:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression 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 rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
