Selling your home? Making a small investment to hire a professional appraisal might be a wise decision. It is difficult to get a handle on real estate values unless you study them on a day to day basis. That's exactly what a professional appraiser does. Zaloom can tell you the true market value of your home, which can really pay off for you in the long run!

FOR SALE BY OWNER

Many homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) in an effort to save on the hefty commission charged by real estate agents. (Typically 5-7% of the home's selling price.) In addition sellers want to feel that they're in control of the process of selling their home. However, a significant amount of homework must be done if you're going to do it right. It is imperative that you don't "overprice" your home! Pricing can be difficult given your emotional attachment to your home that is why hiring a professional appraiser is so important. An objective appraiser will tell you the true value of your home, not what you want to hear.

PRE-LISTING APPRAISAL

When you list your property for sale, you will more than likely receive a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from your real estate agent. The CMA lists selected sales in your area to help in determining what to set as your Listing Price. An accurate Listing Price is vital to minimizing the time your home is on the market so as to maximize your profit.

Even if your are working with a knowledgeable real estate agent, it is in your best interest to obtain the opinion of an objective third-party before signing a listing agreement. That's where Zaloom can help. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal. Zaloom will give you and your agent an accurate descriptions of your home's features as well as a detailed analysis of the most recent comparable sales (Comps) in your area. Not only will Zaloom help you set a realistic selling price, we can also:

* Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer

* Supply buyer’s with written proof of your home’s condition inside and out

* Alert you to problems so you can avoid last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing

* Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

* Eliminate the wait for the buyer or their mortgage company to get the appraisal done on their own

Investing in the services of a professional appraiser can help people who have undervalued their home receive thousand more dollars then they though they would from the sale of their home. Or prevent those who have an inflated opinion of their home's value from wasting time and money having their home sit on the market with no offers.
