Getting an appraisal from A. M. Appraisals before putting your Lexington County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

An increasing amount of SC homeowners are choosing 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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

People are surprised to discover their home's value is a great deal more than they thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
