Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Lobos Appraisers.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Maryland homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to be objective about 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.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
