Appraisal services for home sellers - H&K Appraisals

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from H&K Appraisals 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 makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

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

For Sale By Owner?

More and more IN homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about 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 selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
