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 experience with Nick and Laurie while buying a home was very positive! They were fully prepared to show us homes that were within our range of style and they are extremely knowledgeable about the area. They really do always answer the phone and they are good listeners!! We worked mainly with Nick but Laurie was available immediately when we needed assistance and she went above and beyond to help us. They have wonderful personalities and make you feel relaxed and not rushed. We felt no pressure at all while touring homes and they were very patient and pleasant. They were also very accommodating to our needs, as our settlement attorney is located in Hockessin, DE. We absolutely love our new home and hope to never move, but if we do, we will definitely contact them again. Give them a call, you will not be disappointed!

The Nick Carter Team is professional, knowledgeable and reliable. You call and they answer. They presented my wife and I separately a list of priorities of what we desired in a home and a community. Using the results they were able to find the right home and community for us and it worked. They also recommended an agent to sell our home in Maryland. An added bonus was they treated us like family. Because of them and their attention to us, it was a very pleasurable experience. Thank you Nick and Laurie.

I really appreciate your help in selling our townhouse. When I wanted to make some changes on the marketing, you said not to do it. We followed your advice and you were correct. We got our price in a short period of time. Thanks again for your expertise.

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.
