Putting a house on the market in or near Okaloosa County? Contact Madison Laine Assoc Inc and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only worth the price another person is offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Florida homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. You need 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.

In addition to helping 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
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion 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 in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
