Appraisal services for home sellers - Hernandez Real Estate Services, Inc.

Getting an appraisal from Hernandez Real Estate Services, Inc. before putting your Dumfries 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 pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible 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 how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more VA homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very hard to be objective about your 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
