Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Wood Appraisal Service.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only worth what another person is going to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

Quite a few Alabama homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need 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 so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool while speaking with 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 overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have originally gotten. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
