Getting an appraisal from Harris Appraisals LLC before putting your Tallapoosa County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; 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 understand their local real estate market.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
