Getting an appraisal from A.M.O. Appraisals, Inc. before putting your Collier 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. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only worth what another person is going to give you.

Selling on your own?

More and more Florida homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. You need an objective opinion, 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 sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide
People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it 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 waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
