Appraisal services for home sellers - Randolph Appraisals, Inc.

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

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few AL 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Help lower the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
