Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Accurate Appraisals of North Carolina

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a sharp listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your home? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of sales in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very logical) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.
