Getting an appraisal from William R. Cook, Inc. before putting your Trumbull County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more Ohio homeowners are making the decision 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 professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard 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:

Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
