Appraisal services for home sellers - Appraisal Direct, Inc.

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Appraisal Direct, Inc. will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

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, quickly and for the best price, what you need is a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it's difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating 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 problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause sales to backslide

People are surprised to discover the value of their home is much more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
