Appraisal services for home sellers - Dezagottis and Associates, Inc.

Getting an appraisal from Dezagottis and Associates, Inc. before putting your Cumberland County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Selling on your own?

More and more PA 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 the best price, what you need is a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust 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.
