Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Fletcher Appraising.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays 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.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more NC 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, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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.

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

  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
  • Alert you of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might hold-up a closing
  • Decrease the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to get thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
