Professional Evaluation

When you’re selling your home, the price you set is a critical factor in the return you’ll receive. That's why you need a professional evaluation from an experienced REALTOR®. An experienced REALTOR® can provide an honest assessment of your home, based on several factors, including:

  • Market conditions
  • Condition of your home
  • Repairs or improvements
  • Selling time-frame

Issues caused by Over Pricing

In real estate terms, market value is the price at which a particular house, in its current condition, should sell within 30 to 90 days. If the price of your home is too high, this could cause several issues:

  • Limits buyers - Potential buyers may not view your home because it appears to be out of their buying range.
  • Limits showings - Other salespeople may be more reluctant to view your home.
  • Used as leverage - Other REALTORs® may use this home to drive the sale of other homes that are better-priced.
  • Extended stay on the market - When a home is on the market too long, it may be perceived as defective. Buyers may wonder, “what’s wrong,” or “why hasn’t this sold?”
  • Lower price - An overpriced home, still on the market beyond the average selling time, could lead to a lower selling price. To sell it, you will have to reduce the price – sometimes several times. In the end, you’ll probably get less than if it had been properly priced in the first place.
  • Wasted time and energy - A bank appraisal is most often required to finance a home.

REALTORs® have known it for years – well-kept homes that are properly priced in the beginning always get you the fastest sale for the best price! And that’s why you need a professional to assist you in the selling of your home.

Often, in a seller’s market, homes that are priced slightly below market value initially will sell for more, simply because of the extra interest they incite. This can be a risk, however, and when it comes to such a decision, an experienced, trusted REALTOR® is your best ally.

Our home buying experience with Nick & Laurie Carter was extremely positive. As out-of-state buyers, we relied heavily on their expertise and knowledge of the local market. In addition, Nick and Laurie's professionalism, guidance, and support throughout the entire process gave us a feeling of confidence; we felt that they were really in tune with what we were looking for in a home.

The Nick Carter team helped overcome many obstacles with the sale of our house. They assisted with acquiring an elevation certificate, removal from the FEMA flood plain. In addition, they assisted in fixing a hot tub, front door way, septic system and several other details. Having a team that has the local knowledge and experience was priceless. In addition, they found me a new home in a location that is perfect and assisted with recommendations of moving companies etc...

I don't know why anyone would even think of using a different realtor. This team is outstanding!!!

I have sold three houses with Laurie and Nick and would go back to them for any future needs! I recommend them to any one looking for a real estate agent!

Very professional. Was extremely patient with our lender during the final days prior to settlement. Was able to work with the seller to coordinate our offer into a sale. Will most definitely want to work with Nick on future negotiations.

Nick, we can't thank you enough for advising both of us this past year on the value of our property in Lewes and how to go about selling the home from family member to family member. We both have called upon your services many times and greatly appreciate all you have done for both of us. We are pleased to say that settlement took place and renovations have begun to update the home. Many thanks again for your expertise and willingness to assist us both.
