Getting an appraisal from Abbey Appraisal & Consulting before putting your Lewis County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

More and more NY 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 top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with 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 overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
