Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.
We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent
Quite a few Michigan 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, 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 realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
- Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
- Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
- Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
- Help lower the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
