If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.
You could be focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. A home is only going to sell for the price another person is going to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?
An increasing amount of North Carolina 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, you need a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.
In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price to attract more potential 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 your home's condition inside and out
- Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
- Help prevent the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through
It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an exaggerated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your home sits on the market.
