Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few IN homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
