Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Atlas Appraisal Service LTD.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. 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 an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on 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, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

  • Help prevent the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally.
