Over 27 years of experience doing appraisals in Southern WV

Getting an appraisal from Mike Tyree before putting your Raleigh County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; 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 difficult for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of West Virginia homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sound asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on 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 sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
