Putting a house on the market in or near Pasco County? Contact Robert A. Collins Appraisal Service and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is going to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few Florida homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, it can be very difficult to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
