Appraisal services for home sellers - Jankowski Appraisal Services, LLC

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Jankowski Appraiser .

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 in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more PA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard to be objective about 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.

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

Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
