Appraisal services for home sellers - Lindsey Appraisal Services

Getting an appraisal from Lindsey Appraisal Services before putting your Knoxville home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. 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 a professional appraiser does, it's hard 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 how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few TN homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, it's 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, 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 gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

Even if you have with a very skillful agent, it's in your best interest to have an unbiased second opinion of value prior to finalizing a listing agreement. Lindsey Appraisal Services can help. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a precise description of your home's characteristics and a detailed analysis of the newest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
