Getting an appraisal from Gene McBride Appraisal Service before putting your Fulton County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected.
