Putting a house on the market in or near San Francisco County? Contact ValueMate and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few CA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance 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 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 inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers 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 stall a closing
  • Lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
