Getting an appraisal from MS-TN Valuation Services LLC before putting your Shelby County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand 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 how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of TN 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 for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. 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 sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
