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

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. 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 hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

An increasing amount of NY 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult 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.

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

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
