Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Visser Appraisals, Ltd. will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more Michigan homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it's very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust 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.
