Getting an appraisal from CompChek Appraisal before putting your home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

Quite a few Michigan homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it can be very hard to take an objective look at your 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, 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.
