Getting an appraisal from Melissa Calloway, SRA before putting your Florence home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

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, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

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

  • Make you aware of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to receive several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of waiting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
