Appraisal services for home sellers - Blythe Appraisal

Getting an appraisal from Blythe Appraisal before putting your Fort Myers home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of FL homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard 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 realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home 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
