Getting an appraisal from Wiregrass Appraisal Services, Inc. before putting your Houston County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an 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 hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to give you.

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

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected.
