Appraisal services for home sellers - Doughty Appraisal Services

Getting an appraisal from Doughty Appraisal Services before putting your Daytona Beach 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 the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more FL homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very 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 realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool 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 problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
