Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Talley Appraisal Services will ensure you get it right.

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 pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is going to give you.

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

An increasing amount of Alabama 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, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
