Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from A. Michael Hickox Appraisal Services, Inc..

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

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is going to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

Quite a few Florida 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, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get 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 sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
