Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Cooney Appraisal Services will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

An increasing amount of Ohio 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - 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.
