Getting an appraisal from ARA Real Estate Appraisals, Inc. before putting your Diamond Bar home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

More and more CA homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal.

We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out that 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 get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
