Selling your home in or near New Hanover County? Contact The Property Shop of the Carolinas, LLC. and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is absolutely necessary. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only worth what another person is offering to pay.

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

Quite a few North Carolina homeowners are making the decision 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult hard to be objective about your 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 realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Be a very valuable bargaining tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any issues and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Help decrease the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop
Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that their home's value is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they originally expected. Others have an an overestimated opinion of the value of 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, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.
