Getting an appraisal from Pacheco Appraisals before putting your Butte 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's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, focused on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of California homeowners are deciding 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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 so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease 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
  • Lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
