Selling your home in or near Bristol County? Contact Gayle Bartlett and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

An increasing amount of MA 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it 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
