Getting an appraisal from KHB Appraisals before putting your Howard County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more 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 to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
