Putting a house on the market in or near Berkeley County? Contact BLS Appraisals, LLC and make sure you're setting the price right.

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

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is offering to pay.

Selling on your own?

An increasing amount of South Carolina homeowners are making the decision 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to take an objective look at 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 so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.

Get a comprehensive appraisal before listing

Even if you have a very skilled agent, it's in your best interest to have an analysis of your home's value before finalizing a listing agreement. And that's where BLS Appraisals, LLC comes in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate summarizing of your home's characteristics and a detailed analysis of the the latest and similar comparable sales which we typically refer to as "comps" in the appraisal industry.
