Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Metropolitan Real Estate Appraisal Service, Inc. will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more MD homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on 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. 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
