Appraisal services for home sellers - Paul Leslie Appraisals

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Paul Leslie Appraisals.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few CA 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, quickly and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, it's very hard to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
