About Appraisals >A Market Analysis

Setting the right price is an important first step in the process of selling a home. Is it necessary to spend $200 to $400 for a professional appraisal of your property before placing your home on the market?

A professional appraiser's opinion of a property's market value is based on the recent sales of similar homes in the neighborhood, and on the square footage and condition of the property. Different appraisers might come up with different figures. Even if all of them agreed on a value, there is no guarantee that you would receive that amount for your property.

An alternative to a professional appraisal is to ask a professional real estate agent for a written market analysis of your property. This analysis will include information about recent home sales in your neighborhood, as well as how those homes compare to yours. Real estate agents may provide this service with no charge or obligation. If you are still unsure of the value of your home, you may wish to pay for an appraisal.

As a native of North Carolina, I originally became involved in sales to put myself through school at Appalachian State University. In 1983, I moved to Smith Mountain Lake and have enjoyed a successful career as a full time Realtor for the past 25 years.

My home is at The Water's Edge with my husband, Bill, and son, Trey. In 1986, I became the first permanent resident of The Water's Edge. This has been a great source of joy for me as well as a real benefit for my customers. I live here, work here, and play here, so I know the lake and its surrounding areas. My goal is to help my customers find the perfect property so that they can enjoy the same lifestyle I do.

Each year since beginning my career, I have been recognized for sales excellence by The Roanoke Valley Association of Realtors receiving the top two awards given. I attribute that success to tremendous customer referrals, fantastic properties and a lot of hard work.

Whether your are ready to buy or sell, let my years of experience help you!
