Appraisal services for home sellers - Lackey Appraisals Inc

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Lackey Appraisals Inc 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 makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

Quite a few MS homeowners are deciding 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 expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's hard to take an objective look at 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 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 issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
