Putting a house on the market in or near Saint Marys County? Contact Wicomico Appraisals, 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's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more MD 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, quickly and for the best price, you need a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get 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 tell you 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:

Be a very useful bargaining 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 eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. 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 exaggerated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You may have a highly talented agent but it's in your best interest to get an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Wicomico Appraisals, LLC comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have a definitive description of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the newest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
