Be an informed home seller. Get an appraisal from Mike Surles RE, LLC.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

You, as a homeowner, might be thinking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only worth the price another person is going to pay.

Selling your own home instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more South Carolina homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Give you an advantage while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Make you aware of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have originally banked. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
