Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from 1 Tree Realestate Appraisal Service will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

You could be thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is going to pay.

Selling on your own?

More and more Tennessee homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need an objective opinion, it's very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
