Getting an appraisal from Orchard Hill Appraisal before putting your Griffin home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You could be focused on how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only going to sell for what another person is going to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few Georgia homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a expert appraiser. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide
People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally netted. Others have an an inflated impression of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
