Appraisal services for home sellers - Kimberly A. Russell

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Kimberly A. Russell will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of TN homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
