Getting an appraisal from Arkansas Real Estate Appraisal Professional Inc. before putting your Hot Spring County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. 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 hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, 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 offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Arkansas 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's 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 realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust 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 your home sits on the market.
