If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays 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 fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

More and more IN homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a expert appraiser. You need 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 realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
