Selling your home in or near Ashe, Alleghany, Wilkes, Watauga, or Avery County? Contact Parkway Appraisals 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's worth every penny in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. You see, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only worth what 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 help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will tell you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a sound asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Give you an advantage while bargaining 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 problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
  • Help prevent the chances of unidentified problems that cause sales to go up in smoke
People are surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they originally thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while getting nothing done.

Even if you're working with a very skillful agent, it's definitely a good idea to get an analysis of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Parkway Appraisals comes in. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a definitive writeup of your home's features and a detailed breakdown of the the latest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
