Appraisal services for home sellers - Appraisal Metrics

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Appraisal Metrics.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more MI homeowners are choosing 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. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
