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

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

You could be fixated on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Tennessee 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard 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 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
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help lower the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people 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 an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
