Putting a house on the market in or near Cumberland County? Contact Mike Nye 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 an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money 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've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. You see, an appraisal assesses your home's market value. After all, a home is only worth what another person is offering to give you.

Appraisals are valuable tools for families selling without an agent

More and more North Carolina homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, it's very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool when you find a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
  • Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Decrease the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they originally expected. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of waiting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
