Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

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

  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months.
