Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Midwest Appraisal and Consulting.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few MI homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

  • Be a very useful bargaining 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 eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

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 a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated 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 sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
