Appraisal services for home sellers - Jim Pemberton

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Jim Pemberton.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Selling on your own?

More and more TN homeowners are making the decision 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 to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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 astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on 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 instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
