Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from ADK Appraisal Services.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays 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 fully grasp real estate market forces.

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 assesses the true market value of your home. A home is only worth what another person is offering to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of Florida 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract 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 last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion 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. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
