Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Appraisal Solutions.

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 you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. At the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few Alabama homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. You need an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Lower the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people when they find out 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 thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
