If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more MS homeowners are deciding 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need 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 tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
