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

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few AL 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, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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 sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent 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 investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
