Selling your home in or near Sumner County? Contact Carrie Batey and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you 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 the nuances of 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. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate
