Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Tri-County Appraisal Svc will ensure you get it 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 difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few PA 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, quickly and for the best price, you need a qualified appraiser.

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than 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.
