Appraisal services for home sellers - Masterson Appraisals, Inc.

Getting an appraisal from Masterson Appraisals, Inc. before putting your Frankfort home on the market saves you time and money.

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 the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more IL homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
