Appraisal services for home sellers - Haas Appraisal

Getting an appraisal from Haas Appraisal before putting your Los Angeles County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more CA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard 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 astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
