Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Mahoney Appraisal Services, Inc will ensure you get it 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 in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, focused on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. A home is only going to sell for what another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Arkansas homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
