Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Kennamer Appraisals, Inc. will ensure you get it right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

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

More and more Alabama 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
