Putting a house on the market in or near Baltimore County? Contact The Preferred Appraisal Group and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more MD homeowners are making the decision 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. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high 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
