Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Appraisal Partners, Inc.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand their local real estate market.

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. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. At the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more 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, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover 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 could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust 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.
