Appraisal services for home sellers -

Listing at the right price is crucial and an appraisal from Appraisal Professionals will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few Indiana homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is an appraisal. It can be difficult to get 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 inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find 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 overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

People are 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 several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal can help to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly. A high initial listing price will not attract buyers and can stall the selling process.
