Putting a house on the market in or near Virginia Beach City County? Contact Coastal Virginia Appraisals, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more Virginia homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract 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 overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
