Appraisal services for home sellers - Cromartie Appraisal Service

Getting an appraisal from Cromartie Appraisal Service before putting your Georgetown County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling on your own?

More and more SC homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

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

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they originally thought. Others have an an overestimated opinion when they put a value on their home, 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 sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home 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
