Pre-listing appraisal- Why homeowners are booking them

Zillow says one number. Your neighbor swears it’s another. And you’re about to make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

A pre-listing appraisal gives you a defensible, unbiased value before you list ..so you price with confidence, negotiate from strength, and avoid surprises when the buyer’s lender orders their own appraisal.

I’ve been booking these nonstop lately, and there’s a reason: sellers want clarity before they commit to a price.

✔ Licensed & independent
✔ Full inspection + real comps
✔ A number you can stand behind

Serving Wake, Johnston, Franklin, Granville, & Durham Counties. 80+ 5-star reviews across the Triangle.

✨ Meet Our Speaker: Katie Brown ✨

Certified Appraiser.
6 years in the industry.
Founder of KB Appraisal.

Katie’s biggest win isn’t just growth — it’s how she grew.

She transformed KB Appraisal from a small, referral-based practice into a trusted appraisal brand serving agents, attorneys, and homeowners across the Triangle, expanding into private non-lender work including pre-listing, estate, and divorce appraisals.

Her focus?
Education. Transparency. Long-term professional relationships — not volume alone.

Her top takeaway as an influencer in real estate:
“Influence isn’t about being the loudest voice, it’s about being the most trusted one. When you take the time to educate, communicate clearly, and do the right thing even when it’s harder, your impact naturally grows.”

We’re excited for her to share insights on trust, credibility, and building a lasting business.
