Getting an appraisal from Dan Craft Appraisals before putting your Knox County home on the market saves you time and money.

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 pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

More and more TN homeowners are making the decision 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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 sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
