Putting a house on the market in or near Oxford County? Contact Packard Appraisal LLC and make sure you're setting the price 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 studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

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 astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. 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 instead of 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.
