Mary Wolfe, personal moving consultant at Fox Run, in Novi, is a valuable resource when it comes to providing tips to help you sell your home.

This month, she shares information about appraisals.

“It’s important to get an appraisal prior to listing and price a property to compete in today’s market,”  she says.

“Many sellers make the mistake of pricing a property too high, only to waste valuable market time and ultimately sell at a lower price. The true market value of a property is what a buyer is willing to pay for it today. A professional  property appraisal, based on the most recent sales, can help assess the current market value and facilitate a faster sale,” she says.
