Putting a house on the market in Westchester, Putnam, Orange, or Rockland Counties? Contact Robert Pasacrita Appraisals 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 the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

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

Quite a few NY homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
