Getting an appraisal from Prestige Appraisal before putting your Jackson County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it's worth every penny in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

You, as a homeowner, might be focused on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market. Something is only worth what another person is willing to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

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 to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. You need an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very difficult to be objective about your 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.

Not only can 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's interior and exterior
Call attention to any issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is much more than they thought. So investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated opinion of their home's value, and by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price for their home - allowing them to quickly sell it - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
