Appraisal services for home sellers - Steve Ettien Appraisals, LLC.

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Steve Ettien Appraisals, LLC. will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. 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 a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on 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. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more PA homeowners are choosing 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very difficult to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than 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.
