Selling your home in or near Marion County? Contact Hearland Appraisal Services (317) 469-6620 and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Indiana homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a qualified appraiser. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is much more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
