Getting an appraisal from Miller Appraisals before putting your Fremont 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 pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

You're probably fixated on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is going to give you.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

An increasing amount of Ohio homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Prevent the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through
People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
