Selling your home in or near Delaware County? Contact Sun Valuations and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only worth what another person is going to pay.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few Pennsylvania homeowners are making the decision 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard to be objective about 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide
It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
