Appraisal services for home sellers - Palmer Appraisals, Inc.

Getting an appraisal from Palmer Appraisals, Inc. before putting your Mono County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few CA 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, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very 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 sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
