Appraisal services for home sellers - C. Cawthon and Co., LLC

Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from C. Cawthon and Co., LLC.

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 the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of GA 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 for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
