Eagle Home Appraisal Charlotte
Residential appraisals in Charlotte
Selling without an agent, appealing a Mecklenburg tax value, dropping mortgage insurance, gifting a house to family: each starts with an independent number. Call, tell us the address and what the number is for, and we will talk through the rest.
Houses, condos and townhomes across Charlotte and its historic districts.
What to expect when you call
Tell us the address and why you need the value: a listing, a refinance, a mortgage-insurance request, a Mecklenburg tax appeal or a gift. We will say what the report would cover, the fee and the timing before you decide.
Residential requests across Charlotte
Requests come to Eagle Home Appraisal Charlotte from homeowners, buyers and sellers, attorneys, accountants, trustees and lenders who need a value for one specific property. Say who will receive the report and which decision it informs; between them, those two answers define the scope.
Property types
We take residential requests for detached single-family houses, condominium units and townhouses; duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes; manufactured homes on permanent foundations; homes inside Charlotte's designated historic districts; and vacant residential lots.

Why Charlotte owners order an appraisal
Pricing before a listing
Knowing the value before choosing a list price gives you a reasoned anchor for pricing and negotiating.
Selling without an agent
An independent opinion of value gives both sides one reference point instead of dueling online estimates.
Dropping PMI
Rules for cancelling private mortgage insurance come from your lender; find out what report it accepts before ordering one.
Refinancing
A value in hand lets you check the loan-to-value ratio before applying.
A Mecklenburg County tax appeal
North Carolina fixes real property tax values as of January 1 of a county's revaluation year and keeps them until the next revaluation, except for listed changes (G.S. 105-285; G.S. 105-287). Mecklenburg revalues every four years; current values date from the 2023 revaluation, and the next one is scheduled for 2027 (county revaluation page).
The county accepts informal review requests within 30 days of the date printed on a revaluation notice. Formal appeals go to the Board of Equalization and Review, which takes requests up to its adjournment date each year, and its decision can be taken to the N.C. Property Tax Commission within 30 days (county appeals page). An appraisal for an appeal reaches back to that January 1 date, not today's market; it supports your case without promising a lower value.
Insurance coverage
An independent value to bring into a coverage review with your insurer.
A gift of real estate
Pass along the charity's requirements, and your tax adviser's, when requesting a quote.
Moving for work
An employer's relocation program may require an independent appraisal for a home buyout.

A few questions that come up.
Is this the same as the county’s tax value?
No. Mecklenburg County’s assessed value comes from its 2023 revaluation and is pegged to January 1 of that year. An appraisal is an independent opinion of value for a purpose and date you choose.
