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 pays 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 understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

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

Selling on your own?

More and more SC homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it's very difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Help decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to deteriorate

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
