Appraisal services for home sellers - JTK Appraisal Services

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from JTK Appraisal Services.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a 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.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more CA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But 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 difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting 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.
