Getting an appraisal from Bridge to Bridge Appraisers before putting your SAN RAFAEL home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of CA homeowners are making the decision 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, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard to be objective about 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 astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have 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 last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
