Appraisal services for home sellers - Safeguard Valuation Services Inc.

Getting an appraisal from Safeguard Valuation Services Inc. before putting your Maricopa County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few AZ homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. You need 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 explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it 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 sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
