Appraisal services for home sellers - Phil Morris Appraisals

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Phil Morris Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money 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 their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few MS homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of 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 once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
