Appraisal services for home sellers - Colony Bank

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Colony Bank.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few 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 to do it right, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser.

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

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help lower the possibility of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
