Getting an appraisal from Erwin Appraisal Services, Inc. before putting your Saint Johns County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on 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, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more Florida homeowners are making the decision 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 for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
