Getting an appraisal from Herrin Appraisal Company before putting your Forsyth 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. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, 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, quickly and for top dollar, what you need is a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, it can be very difficult 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.

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 useful negotiating tool when you find a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Call attention to any problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the odds of unrevealed problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people to discover the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in an appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion when they put a value on their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
