If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

Quite a few GA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal.

We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

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 investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
