Using an appraisal to set your price

Home appraisal: - For a fee ($250 - $350 in the Atlanta area), you can hire a real estate appraiser to put a value on your home, based on its condition, plus past sales of comparable homes. This appraisal can be used to help justify your price when negotiating with buyers.
The Appraisal Network will help you find a local real estate appraiser. (If that fails you can find appraisers in your local phone book.)
Engineer's Inspection: If you suspect problems with the roof or other major components such as the plumbing or heating system, you can hire a professional home inspector (for $200 - $300) to assess the condition of your home. The engineer's written report will arm you against similar reports prepared by inspectors hired by prospective buyer's.

Making repairs: You can avoid repair costs by selling your home "as is," but an "as is" property will sell for less than top dollar and may take longer to sell. We suggest making the repairs and putting the cost into the selling price.

Next Step: Consider the financing terms you might offer a buyer
