Appraisal services for home sellers - South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc

Getting an appraisal from South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc before putting your Marshfield 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 a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more MA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance 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 skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very hard 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Prevent the possibility of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally thought. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to 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 will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
