If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on 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. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

More and more NE homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it's very hard 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.

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

Be a very valuable bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
