What You Should Do To Prepare For Your Home Appraisal
The appraisal is technically not the seller's responsibility, so you may not be thinking about it at all as you get your house ready to sell. Typically the buyer has to schedule and pay for the appraisal as part of the loan requirements, so sellers tend not to consider whether they should prepare for it. To ensure your sale goes through, however, our real estate agents recommend that as a seller, you prepare for the appraisal as best as you can.
Fortunately, many of these things coincide with what you already should be doing to get your house ready to sell. Here are a few ways to make sure your home's appraisal is an accurate reflection of the house's market value.

6 Curb Appeal Tips to Sell Your Michiana Home
When you are looking to sell your Michiana home this spring, you will want to spruce the place up to make it more appealing to buyers. It is a good idea to contact our real estate agents for insight into what home buyers in the area want. This can prevent you from putting time and money into home improvement projects that will not increase your home's value.
Tackling your home's curb appeal is a great place for you to start. After all, first impressions are important. Here are six essentials to improve your house's curb appeal and attract potential buyers.
- Soap and Water
It may seem like a no-brainer, but making sure the outside of your house is as clean as the inside is one of the simplest but most important things you can do to improve your home's value. If your siding has acquired any soot or grime, get a bucket of soapy water and a long-handled, soft-bristled brush and get to work. It might not occur to a prospective buyer to be impressed by how clean the exterior is, but it is guaranteed they will notice if it is dirty.

Buying a House: 6 Must-Dos Before Closing
Finding that one amazing home you love is exciting! Your offer was accepted, but it's not officially yours quite yet. Closing is the last part of the process and that's when the property officially changes ownership. Our REALTORS® are here to make your home-buying easier with these six must-dos before closing day.
- Make sure contingencies are completed
The sale isn't finalized until all of the contingencies are handled. In most cases that includes the financing, the inspection, and the appraisal. These are all important because if the financing falls through, the inspection turns up major problems, or the appraisal comes in at less than the purchase price, you have the right to back out of the sale.
