Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Bohning Appraisals.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a sharp listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to list your home? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a really important step.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an appraisal from a professional who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers. A skillful appraisal from Bohning Appraisals can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unknown dilemmas that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value to your home

Bohning Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out your costs before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
