Putting a house on the market in or near Lake County? Contact Town and Country Appraisals LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

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

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, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very hard to be objective about your 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
