Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Capital City Appraisal Services.

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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult 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 how much you want to sell it for. You see, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. Technically, something is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Selling on your own?

Quite a few Georgia homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your 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 sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find 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 eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide
People are surprised to discover the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment 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 - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
