Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few TN homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
