Appraisal services for home sellers - Kevin L. McGinnis Appraisals

Getting an appraisal from Kevin L. McGinnis Appraisals before putting your Cleveland County home on the market saves you time and money.

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 spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want 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?

An increasing amount of NC homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it's 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.

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

Be a very useful bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Alert you of issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the odds 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 investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
