A market analysis appraisal performed by a licensed or certified appraiser to set your listing price can be a very valuable tool. An appraiser is an unbiased professional who can help you in determining the correct listing price for your home. An appraiser is not motivated by selling price or commission so you get a more accurate value for your home. By having the correct listing price, you can maximize your profit and ensure your home is competitively priced so it will sell in the current marketing timeframe. You can be assured that when the buyer applies for a loan, the appraisal will come into value so they can get their loan.
An appraisal can also help you in your negotiation with the potential buyer because you can show them the appraisal performed by an appraiser which you utilized to set the asking price. This will help you avoid the back and forth changing of offering price.
Selling your home can be a very stressful time and by utilizing an appraiser to help you set your listing price, you can reduce your stress in knowing that the listing price is correct and you can maximize your profit.
