Selling your home in or near Jefferson County? Contact Advanced Appraisal Services, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

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

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

More and more LA homeowners are deciding 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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.

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

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
