Getting an appraisal from CGL Appraisals before putting your Saratoga Springs home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more UT homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
