Putting a house on the market in or near Brevard County? Contact Platinum Appraisal Services and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is going to pay.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few Florida homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's 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 sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease 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 prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have originally netted. Others have an an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
