Getting an appraisal from Express Valuations, Inc. before putting your Newport Beach home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few CA 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, it's very difficult to take an objective look at 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.

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

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
