Getting an appraisal from David Meisenholder before putting your Seaford home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser.

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

  • Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
