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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more MD homeowners are choosing 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 professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find 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 get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated assessment 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 instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home 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

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You may have a very experienced agent but it's in your best interest to have an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. Deckman Appraisal Services LLC can help. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have a definitive description of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the newest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
