Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from ARK Appraisal Services, LLC will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Missouri homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
