Does having a valuation make the sale quicker?
If anything the valuation will make the sale slower, but not necessarily. Because the valuation is a starting price, those purchasers who are looking for a bargain will be screened out of the process. In other words, only genuine buyers will consider a property that is properly priced. Running counter to this, however, is the fact that genuine buyers who know the market and know what they want are usually prepared to commit quickly and decisively when the right property enters the market.
