Appraisal services for home sellers - Michigan Home Appraisal Co.

Getting an appraisal from Michigan Home Appraisal Co. before putting your Kent County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of MI homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very difficult 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.

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

Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it 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, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
