Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from ALLIED REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS, INC. will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is going to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

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

Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for 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, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
