Appraisal services for home sellers - Shoreline Appraisals

Getting an appraisal from Shoreline Appraisals Inc before putting your Little River home on the market saves you time and money.

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'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 understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of SC homeowners are deciding 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 for top dollar, you need a qualified appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, and we understand that it's 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 astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is quite a bit more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment of their home's value, 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 instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
