Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Academy Appraisal, Inc. will ensure you get it 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 pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of PA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months.
