Appraisal services for home sellers - Burnham Real Estate Appraisals

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Burnham Real Estate Appraisals.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

Quite a few VA 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
