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

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

An increasing amount of MO homeowners are making the decision 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal.

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

Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
