Appraisal services for home sellers - Hilton Appraisals

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

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

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

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

More and more GA 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a expert appraiser. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very 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 will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking 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 condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
