Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Hoffman Appraisals, LLC.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. A home is only going to sell for what another person is going to give you.

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

Quite a few Virginia homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

We will inform you of 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 once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
