Appraisal services for home sellers - Dennis Badger & Associates

Getting an appraisal from Dennis Badger & Associates before putting your Jefferson County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling on your own?

More and more KY homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a skilled appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers 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 hold-up a closing
Help decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Others have an an inflated opinion when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order 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 will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
