Getting an appraisal from Appraisal Services, Inc. before putting your Camden County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

You're probably, as a homeowner, focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. 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 give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

Quite a few Missouri homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at your 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide
People are surprised when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have originally gotten. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
