Putting a house on the market in or near Madison County? Contact McKinney Appraisal, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp 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. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few IL homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
