Quality First Real Estate Reveals How to Prepare Your Home to Get the Best Appraisal

Jan. 16, 2012 - PRLog -- Quality First Real Estate Reveals How to Prepare Your Home to Get the Best Appraisal

Proper Staging and Market Research & Documentation Will Ensure Your Home Appraisal Meets the Right Numbers

San Diego, CA – Jan 16, 2012

Quality First Real Estate, (http://www.qualityfirstrealestate.com) one of San Diego’s top Real Estate Brokers, today posted an article about How to Stage Your Home for the Appraiser.

Written by Realtor Julie Oelckers, a member of the QFRE team, this article explains what the home seller needs to do, after the buyer has signed the papers, to make the house look great to ensure that the property appraisal comes in at the right numbers and that the sale get consummated.

According to Julie, “In this tight market, every day we see homes that were in the sales pipeline drop out because the appraiser’s number did not match the offered price. This can be disastrous as the house comes back on the market, now at a lowered price, or it can lead to another round of negotiations. Neither of these situations are good for the seller.”

The appraisers visit to the home is generally brief. In and out.  Sellers need to make the best impressions in this short visit. If the needed appraisal number for the sale of the house doesn't come in, the buyer's lender is not going to loan on the house.  The home owner is not only selling this home to the new buyer, they are also selling the home to the lender which is providing the loan.

The sale of the property is not final until escrow is cleared. In today’s tight market where lenders are very apprehensive about making loans and are very careful regarding property valuations, staging your home to maximize its value for the appraisal is very important.
