Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Michael Boyer Appraisal Service 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's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

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 sound asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home

Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally banked. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
