Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from ATB Appraisals, Inc..

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of Florida homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a qualified appraiser.

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

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sound selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide
It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for 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, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
