Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from South Eastern Appraisal, Inc. will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Technically, something is only going to sell for what another person is going to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more Kentucky homeowners are deciding 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, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at your 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop
People are surprised to discover the value of their home is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
