Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Megunticook Appraisal, LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money 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 understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more ME homeowners are making the decision 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 to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months.
