Getting an appraisal from ZREC, LLC before putting your Mecklenburg County home on the market saves you time and money.

If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

You, as a homeowner, might be fixated on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get out of it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on the true market value of your home. Once you break it all down, at the end of the day, your house is only worth the price another person is willing to give you.

For Sale By Owner?

More and more North Carolina homeowners are making the decision 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, what you need is a skilled appraiser. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, it can be very hard to be objective about your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will inform you of what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a realistic asking price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:
  • Allow you to have the edge while negotiating when you find a potential buyer
  • Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
  • Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
  • Help prevent the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to backslide
It can be surprising to people when they find out their home's value is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on a professional appraisal allowed them to receive thousands more than they expected they would get. Alternatively, some people have an inflated assessment when they put a value on their home, and by getting an appraisal it 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, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
