Appraisal services for home sellers - Aletta Appraisals

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Aletta Appraisals.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; 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 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, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few CT 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, quickly and for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, it's very hard to take an objective look at 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 sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
