Getting an appraisal from Kurt Carlson Appraiser before putting your Houston County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays 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 understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is going to pay.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Minnesota homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

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

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have 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 last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
