Getting an appraisal from Blue Heron Appraisal Services before putting your Currituck County home on the market saves you time and money.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to fully grasp their local real estate market.

You, as a homeowner, might be fixated on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value. A home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to pay.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

Quite a few 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, quickly and for a fair price, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, 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.

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So taking the first step and spending a little on a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for thousands more than they could have originally gotten. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order 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 will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while you're in Real Estate "limbo".
