Getting an appraisal from Abacus Appraisal, Inc. before putting your Escambia County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays 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 the nuances of real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be fixated on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more Florida 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
