Welcome to my home page. My name is Shannon Julian, and I'm a North Carolina certified residential real estate appraiser. I specialize in high quality, thorough, well researched appraisals of homes, land, and residential investment properties. My service area covers all of Orange and Durham counties, as well as northeast Chatham county.

As a life long resident, I have a very special knowledge of this area. I chaired the Carrboro Board of Adjustment for over 5 years, and I learned about how planning and zoning shape where we live. The years I spent working in the family clothing business taught me the importance of good customer service, and I know that promptness and on-time delivery are as important to you as they are to me. More details about my approach can be found in the Staff Profiles section of this site.

My Dad celebrated his 90th birthday in February, 2008. This page has some photos, links to articles, and some history about my parents, Milton & Viginia Julian.

Early in my appraisal career, I embraced technology. I want to save time, do more and better research, and be a better analyst.
