Putting a house on the market in or near Montcalm County? Contact Doran Appraisal LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money 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 their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few MI homeowners are deciding 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, what you need is a professional appraisal. 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months.
