Getting an appraisal from Edge Appraisal Services before putting your Sumner County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few Tennessee homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance 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 expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
