Getting an appraisal from MS Appraisals before putting your home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Obtaining an appraisal is relatively inexpensive and provides substantial long-term benefits. Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day-to-day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it is practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you would like to get for it. An appraisal determines your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

Quite a few FL homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you are going to do it right, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. Objective opinions are essential, but emotional attachment makes it hard to be objective about your own home. We will inform you of 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, but a professional appraisal can also:

  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through

Homeowners are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So, investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value; by getting an appraisal it helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done.
