Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from James K Greer & Associates, Inc. will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp 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 for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion when they put a value on 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 rather than waiting on the market for months.
