Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Mannion Appraisals.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; 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 their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of IL homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential 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
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
