Getting an appraisal from Abraham Appraisal before putting your Riverside County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more California homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You may have a very skilled agent, but it's definitely a good idea to have an unbiased second opinion of your home's value before finalizing a listing contract. And that's where Abraham Appraisal comes in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate summarizing of your home's characteristics and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
