Appraisal services for home sellers - Gloria Ostrowski Appraisals, Inc.

Getting an appraisal from Gloria Ostrowski Appraisals, Inc. before putting your home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more IN homeowners are making the decision 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 the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, it can be very hard to be objective about your 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on 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 when they put a value on their home, 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 instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
