Appraisal services for home sellers - Counts Appraisal Group

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Counts Appraisal Group.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more AL homeowners are deciding 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 to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very hard to be objective about 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
