Selling your home in Connecticut? Contact Tradition Appraisal Group and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. Something is only going to sell for the price another person is going to pay.

Selling on your own?

More and more Connecticut 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, you need a expert appraiser. You need an objective opinion, it's very hard to take an objective look at 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally banked. Others have an 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 set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
