Getting an appraisal from Kelly Appraisals before putting your Goshen home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

You're probably, as a homeowner, fixated on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more Indiana homeowners are deciding 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
