Putting a house on the market in or near Madison County? Contact The Appraisal Group and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; 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 fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected.
