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.

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.

Hi Jill. I want to thank you personally. YOU were out primary contact person. The ease with which we could speak to you with questions and concerns kept us calm over the months. Please know that we completely appreciate all that you did to help! Thank you so very much!

Laurie and Nick Carter know the downstate Delaware area very well, and we don't. Therefore, they were able to not only assist us with the purchase of the property but also were able to provide contact information with Land Surveyors, Soil Investigators, development HOA contact persons, etc... The Carter team is a great resource for anyone that needs additional information when moving into the Lewes, De. area. Great people and now great friends. I would highly recommend them at any time.

Laurie Carter was a true professional and reliably optimistic throughout the purchase of our second home. At our first meeting she suggested the amount the house would go for and it was right on the money (and significantly less than the original asking price).

Nick and Laurie are very well connected in the community. They personally know many of the real estate transactions resources (other agents, attorneys, etc.) which helps expedites the process. They are great to work with and are almost always available when you need them. They make a great team.

Laurie's low-pressure style and personal service (including a house check the week after we closed to make sure we had closed the garage door after leaving town!) really sets her apart.
