Appraisal services for home sellers - JE Phillips Appraisals

Getting an appraisal from JE Phillips Appraisals before putting your Potter County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few TX homeowners are deciding 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard 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 sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting 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.
