Appraisal services for home sellers - Terranova Appraisals LLC

Selling your home in or near Sullivan County? Contact Terranova Appraisals LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult to be objective about your 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.

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

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. 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 set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust 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.
