Getting an appraisal from BCR Real Estate Services before putting your Onamia home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of MN 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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser.

We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months.
