Getting an appraisal from P E Turner & Co. before putting your Goochland County home on the market saves you time and money.

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

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more VA 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
