Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from A. M. Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

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, quickly and to get the most you can, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an exaggerated impression of their home's value, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
