Appraisal services for home sellers - Orangecrest Appraisal Service

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Orangecrest Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

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

An increasing amount of CA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard 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.

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

Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
