Appraisal services for home sellers - Wise Appraisal Services, Inc.

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

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, 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. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more MD 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial 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 issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high 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
