Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Taylor Appraisal Service.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, 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, the appraisal measures your home's market value. A home is only worth the price another person is willing to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few Alabama 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, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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 sound selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated assessment of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
