A home appraisal helps a property seller determine how to price his or her residence, making this a significant step in the home selling process. With a great appraisal, a seller may boost the likelihood of earning top dollar for their home.
An expert home appraiser will allocate significant time and resources to complete a report on the home. This professional also performs a home analysis as part of their assessment to provide an accurate property valuation. When searching for an appraiser, it’s best to check their credentials and testimonials to make sure they can offer great service.
Although many home sellers believe an appraisal's property valuation is based solely on the age and condition of a house, other factors come into play. This includes the current state of the housing market, the prices of comparable houses that recently sold and other real estate market data to determine the optimal property valuation.
Completing home renovations prior to a home appraisal can also have a positive impact on the evaluation of your property.
A home seller won't have to wait too long to receive an appraisal report, as a home appraiser usually can provide this report over the course of a few days. This report can reveal key details about the property such as condition of plumbing or the electrical system, how it compares to other properties in the area, if the home is in good shape and more.
When it comes to conducting a home appraisal, you may want to consult a real estate agent. As a housing market professional, they can explain how a home appraisal works and answer any concerns or questions you may have. Plus, a real estate agent may be able to put you in touch with the top-rated home appraisers in your city or town.

Hi, I'm Ronald Bixby and I'd love to assist you. Honor, Respect, and Integrity...These are qualities that were instilled in a small town in upstate NY and reaffirmed in the US Navy. I was raised in a town called Horseheads. After graduating High school, I decided to see the world and I went into the Navy. Although I wanted to see the world, I ended up joining the submarine force and unfortunately, they don't have too many windows on subs! After getting out of the Navy, I found myself with an opportunity to get into the restaurant business and that's where I spent the next 30 years. I am blessed with an amazing wife, who is my rock, 4 beautiful daughters, and a son... Parenthood has a way of keeping you on your toes! However, thinking that I was missing something, I decided to make a change and started exploring the Real Estate business, and the more I looked into it, the more I knew this was the right profession for me. I like to help people and assisting a family buy or sell a home is a fantastic opportunity to do just that. If I can make someone half as happy as I am...it's a great day. Let me help you be happy.
