Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Michigan Appraising.

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 you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

  • 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 first thought.
