Putting a house on the market in or near Madison County? Contact Appraisal Professionals and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money 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 fully grasp real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only worth what another person is offering to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of Illinois 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 professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it's 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.

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

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool 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 eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in real estate "limbo".
