Selling your home in or near Halifax County? Contact Strickland Associates, Inc. and make sure you're setting the price right.

If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and 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 get a handle on their local real estate market.

You're probably, as a homeowner, thinking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. After all, a home is only going to sell for the price another person is willing to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

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 if you're going to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, it can be very hard to take an objective look at 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.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool while speaking with a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the chances of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
