Get an appraisal from 

Barley Real Estate Appraisers.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it could pay for the service in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for a homeowner to understand the nuances of local real estate values.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or determining a sales price. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home.

For Sale By Owner?

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

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Make you aware of issues and alert you of any overlooked repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of unrevealed problems that could cause a buyer to reconsider purchasing your home

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is more than they originally believed. By taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal, a homeowner may sell several thousand more than what the homeowner originally priced their home. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment of the value of their home. By obtaining an appraisal, a homeowner can determine a more reasonable price for their home which could expedite the sale rather than having their home sit on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while your house sits on the market. The longer your house sits on the market, the more apt a buyer is to make an offer lower than the market value.    

We can also help agents price homes in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester Counties
