The professional appraisers at John A Dunlap, LLC. will tell you what you need to know -- not just what you want to hear. We are objective. In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell at so your home will attract many interested buyers, a professional appraisal is very important as a negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer. It gives you something concrete to show your buyer. An appraisal is an independent third party's opinion of your home's value -- not just you saying how much you think your home is worth. Interested buyers assume that you have an emotional attachment to your house and will be much more likely to give credibility to an accomplished appraiser's value conclusion than yours.Challenge Virginia Beach City County's assessment of your propertyLet's say your house is not appreciating as much as other houses close by -- your local tax assessor may have your house overvalued.
