Selling your home in or near Lafayette County? Contact Phillips Appraisal and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide
