Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from LRS & Associates.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Something is only worth the price another person is willing to give you.

Selling on your own?

More and more Florida homeowners are making the decision 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is 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 asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find 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 decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

You might have a very skilled agent, but it's definitely a good idea to get an unbiased second opinion of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where LRS & Associates comes in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a precise writeup of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the the newest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
