Selling your home in or near Richmond City County? Contact Central Virginia Valuations LLC and make sure you're setting the price 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 in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand 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. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get.
