Appraisal services for home sellers - Miller Valuations

Putting a house on the market in or near Marion County? Contact Miller Valuations and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

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.

Selling on your own?

More and more OR homeowners are making the decision 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 expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
