Putting a house on the market in or near Delaware County? Contact Columbus Appraisal Company, llc. and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is willing to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Ohio homeowners are choosing 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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 sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge 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
  • Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop
People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
