Reasons To Get An Appraisal

Each year, countless appraisals are completed for individuals in the United States. Appraisals are completed in the process of buying or selling a home, or in the process of refinancing a home. Each of these appraisals are helping families achieve their American Dream of homeownership. It’s an understood important part of the financing process of homeownership. It allows an expert to assure a buyer is not spending too much on a property.

But there are many other reasons to get an appraisal! There are times that having a certified independent real estate appraiser come in handy! Such times would include:

-Estate Settlement

-Divorce Settlement

-PMI Removal

-Relocation

Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in the amount your property is listed, or sold for while on the market. Appraiser fees are based on the efforts used to complete the appraisal report, and not a percentage of a sales price. Therefore, an independent appraisal can help a homeowner make the best decision on investing in a home and setting a fair sales price.

Call our office with any questions you may have in the appraisal process, and how we can help you with your goals at 910-326-6511.

How long will my appraisal service take?

How long will my appraisal service take?

Some appraisal services take longer than others, depending on the complexity of your property. The time on site will be enough time for the Appraiser to measure the outside walls, walk through the property, gather information on updates / potential issues, and take photographs. Once that portion of the Appraisal Service is done the Appraiser will leave the property and continue working on generating a property valuation.

This information will then be matched with their research on comparable property sales, market research, neighborhood trends, any projected repair costs, etc. Most of the time required to generate a professional real estate appraisal is done off site. We are aware deadlines may be present and will do everything within our power to meet those deadlines for you.
