Appraisal services for home sellers - Eagle Appraisals NJ

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Eagle Appraisal.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling on your own?

More and more NJ homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard to take an objective look at 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 astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated 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 gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
