Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Thomas Realty.

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

You could be thinking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Something is only worth what another person is going to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have originally gotten. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
