Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Allatoona Appraisal.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a really important step.

In our opinion, however, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from a professional who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Allatoona Appraisal comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Allatoona Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest potential buyers, and we can also:

  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a prospective buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
  • Reduce chances of unexpected difficulties that can cause sales to fizzle
  • Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
