Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Lex Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

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 in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more NY homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
