Appraisal services for home sellers - DRA Appraisals, Inc

Getting an appraisal from DRA Appraisals, Inc before putting your Raleigh 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's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

While important, an appraisal is not about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Going to sell your home yourself?

More and more NC homeowners are deciding 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 for the best price, you need a skilled appraiser. It can be very difficult to get 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.

In addition to helping you set a astute 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
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might hold-up a closing
Decrease the odds of hidden problems that cause sales to fall through

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is more than they originally believed. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an exaggerated opinion of the value of their home, by getting an appraisal it helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than sitting on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done
