Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Premier Appraisal Group.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value. A home is only going to sell for what another person is willing to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few Virginia 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. The best thing to have is 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 explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help lower the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
