Appraisal services for home sellers - The Parker Appraisal Company

Getting an appraisal from The Parker Appraisal Company before putting your Lafayette County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few MS homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is much more than they thought.
