Putting a house on the market in or near Stanislaus County? Contact Gill's Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

You could be thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. At the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is going to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few California 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 skilled appraiser.

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:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they thought they would get.
