Getting an appraisal from Andrea Paskorz before putting your Allegheny County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of PA 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 expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating 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 delay a closing
  • Prevent the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
