Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from JKS Appraisal Services, Inc..

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to fully grasp local real estate values.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

An increasing amount of SC 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, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a expert appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard 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.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Call attention to any issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they originally thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Others have an an overestimated assessment when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
