Appraisal services for home sellers - Monarch Appraisals

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Monarch Appraisals.

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 an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about 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 how much your home will bring on the open market.

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

An increasing amount of PA 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
