Selling your home in or near McDowell County? Contact JW Appraisal Services and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, a professional appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the 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.

You could be fixated on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, the appraisal measures your home's market value. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.

Going to sell your home yourself?

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 if you're going to do it right, quickly and to get the most you can, you need a qualified appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it's very difficult 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 selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Help decrease the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is quite a bit more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they thought they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of sitting on the market for months. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
