Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Meade & Associates will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is going to pay.

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

More and more Kentucky homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
