Getting an appraisal from Sparks Appraisals before putting your Prospect 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 in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of 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. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more KY homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very hard to be objective about your 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 asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers 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 hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
