Getting an appraisal from Mid-South Appraisal Service before putting your Moody home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; 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 understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

Quite a few AL homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting 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 difficult 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 astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very helpful bargaining 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 problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated opinion 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 instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
