Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Nathan Wallace Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few Alabama homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a expert appraiser. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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 realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining 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 eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have originally netted. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price 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 your house waits for a buyer.
