Be an informed seller. Get an appraisal from Atlantic Appraisal Service, Inc..

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 spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more NC homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute asking price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Be a very helpful negotiating 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 problems and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help prevent the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to backslide

Folks are sometimes surprised when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So investing in an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Others have an an inflated opinion of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
