1. Should I get a home appraisal BEFORE
selling my home?

2. Getting an appraisal before listing your home
really depends on you.

3. If you have the money to spare, do it for your peace of
mind but also know it is not a necessity, here are the
reasons why-

4. 1. Before listing your home, an appraisal is just another
opinion of your home's worth.
The buyer will not use that appraisal because the lender will order another
appraisal from their end.

5. 2. Appraisals are based on comparables of homes sold.
If there are no recent sales in your area, the appraiser will then use old
sales as far back as three or four years to get a good comparison.

6. 3. Appraisals are subjective to appraisers, therefore,
you will always get different value.
Like with the two real estate agents, no two appraisers will give you the
exact same price.

7. 4. Sometimes, you can get so stuck on the appraisal
that you don’t want to negotiate because you expect the
value from the appraisal.

8. Remember, though you set the home's price, in the end,
you'll have to mutually agree with the buyer when it
comes to your home's value.
