How To Get Home Appraisal Services In Charlotte?

Start with what the number is for. A home value for a listing, for an estate and for a divorce can be three different assignments, each with its own date and its own readers. Settle that first, then choose who will do the work.

Know your date and your readers

An estate often needs the value as of the date of passing. A divorce in North Carolina uses the date of separation. A sale or refinance uses a current date. If an attorney or tax adviser is involved, ask them which date applies. Then tell the appraiser who will read the report.

Questions to ask before you hire anyone

• Who would do the work, and what is that appraiser’s North Carolina license number? (You can check it with the state.) Ask us the same thing when you call.
• Will the report be for the use I have described, and for the date I need?
• What do you need from me: photographs, records of repairs, a deed, a survey?
• What is the fee, and what does it cover? When will you deliver?
• Do you handle testimony? If so, how is it priced?

Gather what Mecklenburg County already has

The county’s Register of Deeds holds recorded deeds and plats, and its POLARIS map shows the parcel and layers such as historic districts. Our service area page explains what to look for.

Then call
