Selling your home in or near Washington County? Contact Appraisal Review & Reports and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Technically, something is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few 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 to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people when they find out that 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 netted. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
