Getting an appraisal from Triangle Appraisal, Ltd. before putting your Hickory Hills home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and 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 hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of Illinois homeowners are choosing 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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated 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. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
