Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Commonwealth Appraisal, Inc..

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few 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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very valuable bargaining 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 eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high 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

We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have an accurate summarizing of your home's characteristics and a detailed breakdown of the newest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
