Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Comprehensive Valuation Services, LLC.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. After all, a home is only worth what another person is going to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

An increasing amount of Kentucky 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting 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.
