Getting an appraisal from Signature Appraisals before putting your Brunswick County home on the market saves you time and money.

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 an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want to sell it for. You see, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market. After all, a home is only worth what another person is going to give you.

Need help setting a price when selling yourself?

More and more North Carolina homeowners are choosing 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 to get the most you can, you need a professional appraisal. It can be very difficult to get an objective opinion, and we understand that it's difficult to take an objective look at 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.

In addition to helping you set a sensible asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while bargaining while speaking with a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Call attention to any problems and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help lower the possibility of hidden problems that cause sales to flop
People are surprised when they find out their home's value is higher than they first thought. So taking the first step and investing in a professional appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - rather than sitting on the market for months. Asking too much for a home will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.

Get a professional value opinion before listing

Even if you're working with a very skilled agent, it's definitely a good idea to get an objective third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a listing agreement. And that's where Signature Appraisals comes in. We can provide you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a precise summarizing of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
