Selling your home in or near Allegheny County? Contact Nordquist Appraisal LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more PA homeowners are deciding 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 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 tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
