Selling your home in metro area? Contact BM Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

You could be fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. A home is only going to sell for what another person is going to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated impression of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
