Appraisal services for home sellers - Appraisal Services of Northern Michigan, LLC

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Appraisal Services of Northern Michigan, LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of MI homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed.

Others have an an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
