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

More and more MS homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

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

  • Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have 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 overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get.
