Getting an appraisal from The Appraisal Shop, LLC before putting your Hutchinson home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few Kansas homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance 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 skilled appraiser. You need an objective opinion, it can be very 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 realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than 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.
