Getting an appraisal from Allstate Property Appraisal Services before putting your Monmouth County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is going to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few New Jersey homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through
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 allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
