Putting a house on the market in or near Tangipahoa County? Contact Joseph Mier & Associates 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 an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is going to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

An increasing amount of Louisiana homeowners are deciding 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 the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Give you an advantage while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the chances of unidentified 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 spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
