Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Baldwin & Hufstetler Real Estate Appraiser.

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 every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp real estate market forces.

You're probably, as a homeowner, focused on how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to give you.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few Georgia homeowners are choosing 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, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult 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 sound asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to fall through
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
