Putting a house on the market in or near Pickens County? Contact Graydon Property Services, LLC. and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only worth what another person is willing to pay.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

Quite a few 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. But if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very helpful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to deteriorate
Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is much more than they thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have originally netted. Others have an an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You might have a highly talented agent, but it's definitely a good idea to have an unbiased second opinion of your home's value before finalizing a listing contract. Let Graydon Property Services, LLC. help. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal that will let you and your agent have a precise writeup of your home's characteristics and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
