Appraisal services for home sellers - Appraisal First LLC

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Appraisal First LLC.

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 pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of IN homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly 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 inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
