Putting a house on the market in or near Union County? Contact Gregg Appraisal Company (605) 870-3005 and make sure you're setting the price right.

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 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 understand real estate market forces.

You could be thinking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. After all, a home is only going to sell for what another person is offering to give you.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have originally netted. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than waiting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
