Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Milstead's Appraisal Service.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. 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 difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few TN 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, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
