Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Tomich & Associates, LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, thinking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more Michigan homeowners are deciding 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 for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining 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 problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that 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 receive several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
