My commitment to excellence is reflected in the loyalty of my clients, many of whom return for my expertise or refer me to their family, friends, neighbors and coworkers. Together, we can navigate this dynamic market with confidence and success. Enjoy February!

Gratefully,

Julie

What Does the Home Appraiser Look At When Appraising a Home?
Just imagine your home after you strip out your personal items — that is what the appraiser cares about. So, even though your custom-made living room furniture would make any interior designer swoon, it will not impress the appraiser at all.



The quality and condition of the “bones” of your home are what matters. During a home visit, which can take 30 minutes to several hours depending on the size of your property, the appraiser takes measurements, examines amenities, and snaps a lot of photos. What the appraiser looks at includes the following:

· The dimensions and layout of the home

· The overall quality and condition of the home

· Health and safety concerns

· How the exterior appears, including the foundation, walls, roof and gutters

· How the interior appears, including the floors, walls and trim

· Permanent additions or upgrades to the property including basements, pools, decks and garages

· If the property conforms to the neighborhood (style, condition, use, construction) – for resale purposes

The appraiser then looks at what similar homes in your area have sold for recently (within the last six months) and combines all of this information to reach a final appraisal value.



It is helpful to have a list of what renovations and replacements to systems you have made and be sure to include the date and the cost of those changes.

Hello Julie ,

Did you know Florida, Texas and North Carolina are the country’s top three states for net migration? North Carolina secures the third spot nationally with a net influx of nearly 79,000 individuals in 2022. These fresh arrivals typically enjoy a moderately higher income than the state's average, and 38% are holding a bachelor’s degree or higher. The most common originating states for North Carolina's newcomers are Virginia, Florida and South Carolina. Read More on the moving trends and age groups that find our state the one to move to.

Thank you for your referrals of others that need my professional assistance! And, I am always available to talk with you about your specific needs or answer your questions. Most real estate news comes from a national perspective, allow me to provide the local perspective to guide your efforts in buying or selling a home.

Have a great February!

Sincerely,

Julie

February Home Tips

Grab a screwdriver and go room to room checking doorknobs, cabinet and drawer handles or anything that might need tightening.

Go on a germ hunt. Arm yourself with a sponge and spray bottle and clean light switch plates and door handles throughout your home and garage.

Go through all closets including the linen and coat closets. Set out three boxes: Keep, Donate and Toss and start sorting.

Check to be sure your furnace filter is still doing a good job or does it need replacing. Is your smoke detector working?

Another 5 star google review.
Julie was a great realtor. It took a little over a year to find what I was looking for. Julie matched my patience and thoroughness throughout the whole process! Without her diligence, I would probably still be looking for a place!

Love 5 Star Google reviews!!!! Thanks Roberta and Skip!

Julie was fabulous during our recent home purchase. She listened to all of our requests, searched different areas. We were only in town for the weekend and she changed her whole schedule around to help us. Amazingly, we found a house on Sunday afternoon that was everything we were looking for. Can't thank you enough.
