Getting an appraisal from Lewis Appraisals (336) 499-4436 before putting your Surry County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures your home's market value.

Appraisals are valuable tools for people selling without an agent

An increasing amount of NC homeowners are deciding to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. You need objective opinions, 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 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 to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

  • Be a very beneficial bargaining tool while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that their home's value is much more than they thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an overestimated assessment when they put a value on 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 instead of sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
