Putting a house on the market in or near Jefferson County? Contact Brett E. Patron & Associates 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. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the 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.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of Louisiana 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, quickly and for top dollar, you need a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard to be objective about your 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 sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
