Appraisal services for home sellers - Tabitha Stephens Appraiser and Consultant

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Tabitha Stephens Appraiser and Consultant will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. 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 a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more OH homeowners are making the decision 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very difficult to be objective about 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.

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

Give you an advantage while bargaining 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 issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So 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 inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
