Getting an appraisal from Sandra Koutsopoulos before putting your Riverside County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; 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.

You, as a homeowner, might be fixated on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of California homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help 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 professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very hard to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally netted. Others have an an inflated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
