Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Josh Anderson Appraisals, INC. will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money 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 their local real estate market.

You're probably thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Something is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few Louisiana homeowners are making the decision 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 for the best price, you need a expert appraiser. You need an objective opinion, it can be very 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
