Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from McDannold Appraisals, LLC.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

  • Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing

So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months.
