Getting an appraisal from Nordquist Appraisal LLC before putting your Allegheny County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

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, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it can be very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to 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 so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating 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 eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it 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.
