Getting an appraisal from Dogwood Appraisals, LLC. before putting your Beaufort County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

You could be thinking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is going to give you.

Going to sell your home yourself?

An increasing amount of South Carolina homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But if you're going to do it right, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need 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 inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have 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 last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide
It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. So by taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an exaggerated assessment 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 allowing them to quickly sell it instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
