Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

More and more LA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer

  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought.
