Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more Florida 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion. It's can be difficult to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can also:
  • Make you aware of those repair issues that matter most in an appraisal. This helps eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour that might delay your closing
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten
  • Give you an advantage in negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer

- Some sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get more than what they thought they'd get for their home.
- There are also plenty of other home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell within a reasonable period of time. An overpriced house will not attract potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) money and still have no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage, taxes, insurance, Association/HOA fees, etc.

Upgrades that may or may not improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property.
- Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?
- Does the fence need replacing?
- Do I need to finish my closet remodel?

Almost any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have an equal effect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. A professional appraisal from AmeriPRIDE helps you make the sharpest decisions when it comes to repairs and improvements to add value and deciding on a profit-maximizing listing & sale price.
