Getting an appraisal from Appraisal Services and Solutions, LLC before putting your Hattiesburg home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Something is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of Mississippi homeowners are choosing 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, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, it's very difficult 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop
People are surprised to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
