Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Taylor Appraisal Service, LLC will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, as a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

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

More and more MO homeowners are choosing 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 for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's very hard to be objective about your 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 realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
