Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Leonard Appraisal Services, LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, 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 going to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of New Jersey homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your 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.

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 while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it 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, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
