Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

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

More and more IA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
