Appraisal services for home sellers - James Appraisal Associates

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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

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 to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very difficult to be objective about your 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 so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated opinion of their home's value, 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. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
