Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from HORNE AND ASSOCIATES, LLC.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few Ohio homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But 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 objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about 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.

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

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated impression 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 gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
