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

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, 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 what another person is going to give you.

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

More and more Alabama homeowners are making the decision 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 expert appraiser. You need 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 negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion 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 - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
