Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from APB Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

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 you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

You're probably, as a homeowner, thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only worth the price another person is willing to pay.

Selling on your own?

More and more Georgia homeowners are making the decision 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 top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting 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.
