Appraisal services for home sellers - Brown Appraisal Service

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Brown Appraisal Service.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. 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 a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few MT homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance 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. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at 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 astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
