Getting an appraisal from Brown Appraisal Associates before putting your Greenwood County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

For Sale By Owner?

Quite a few SC homeowners are making the decision 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 the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very 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 so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out their home's value is much more than they thought. So spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated impression 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 waiting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
