Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Select Appraisal, LLC will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is willing to pay.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Ohio homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very difficult to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
