Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of 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.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a expert appraiser.

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 asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the possibility of unidentified 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 by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
