Putting a house on the market in or near Covington County? Contact Amis Appraisals and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for what another person is offering to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few 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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating 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 overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop
People are surprised to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
