Pre-Listing Appraisals

Make sure that your home is listed at the right price before you put it up for sale by getting an appraisal.

Price Your Home with Data, Not a Guess.

In the Raleigh real estate market, your biggest mistake isn't the color of your front door—it's the price. Price too high, and your home sits on the market, gathering "days on market" stigma. Price too low, and you could be leaving thousands of dollars of your equity on the table.



A Pre-Listing Appraisal from Watson Appraisal Services is the single most powerful tool you can have. It gives you an objective, data-driven, and unbiased opinion of your home's true market value before you sign a listing agreement.

The Homeowner's Advantage

  • Price with Confidence: Stop guessing. A professional appraisal gives you a defensible number to start from.
  • Negotiate with Strength: When a buyer comes in low, you'll have a certified report in hand to back up your asking price.
  • A "Must-Have" for FSBO: If you're "For Sale By Owner," this is your #1 tool. It establishes credibility and proves your price is based on fact, not emotion.
