Putting a house on the market in or near Miami-Dade County? Contact JGI Valuations and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

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

Quite a few FL 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, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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 astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very helpful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

Even if you're working with an extremely talented agent, it's definitely a good idea to get of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. JGI Valuations can help. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a definitive writeup of your home's characteristics and a detailed analysis of the latest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
