Putting a house on the market in or near Morton County? Contact Kerzman Appraisal Service and make sure you're setting the price right.

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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, 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 the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months.
