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

Putting a house on the market in or near Plymouth County? Contact South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses how much your home will bring on the open market.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more MA 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 top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it's very 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 can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very useful bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to deteriorate

People are surprised when they find out that the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they thought they would get. Others have an an overestimated 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 rather than gathering dust 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
