Section 1: What Is a Pre-Listing Appraisal?
A pre-listing appraisal is a certified home valuation completed before putting your property on the market. It helps you understand the current market value of your home so you can price it correctly, attract serious buyers, and reduce time on market.
Section 2: Why FSBO Sellers Use Pre-Listing Appraisals
If you’re selling your home without an agent (FSBO), a pre-listing appraisal can serve as your pricing compass. It gives buyers confidence and keeps negotiations grounded in real market data — not guesswork.
Section 3: How Appraisals Help With Overpricing or Underpricing
Overpricing can scare buyers away. Underpricing leaves money on the table. A pre-listing appraisal gives you an independent, data-backed value so you don’t miss the mark. We base our valuations on recent local comps, not automated online estimates.
Section 4: Can I Use a Pre-Listing Appraisal in a Bidding War?
Absolutely. Appraisals provide a documented baseline value that you can share with serious buyers or agents to justify your asking price — especially in competitive markets like Atlanta.
Section 5: What’s the Process?
We schedule a property inspection
Analyze recent comparable sales
Deliver a certified appraisal within 2–4 business days
Optional: Discuss pricing strategy or market trends to support your sale goals
