Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Benchmark Appraisal Center will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. You see, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Florida homeowners are choosing 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, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an inflated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
