Selling your home in one of the following counties; Manatee, Sarasota, Hillsborough, Pinellas, or Hardee? Contact Dawson Residential Appraisal Group and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only worth the price another person is going to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more Florida 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 for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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 sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

• Allow you to have the edge 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 get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
• Help prevent the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust 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.
