Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from AVS, Inc will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months.
