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 and former member of the Carrboro Board of Adjustment, I have a very special knowledge of my area. 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. I use the Internet for finding some of the details and delivering reports to clients. One of my goals is to reduce processing time for lenders. I have a proven track record of very few call back questions from underwriters. In my reports, I concentrate on answering the reader's questions. I want them to walk with me as I analyze the market forces and to understand better how buyers make their decisions. This approach is appreciated by lenders and private individuals.

I'm a leading provider of appraisals for:

  • Primary and Secondary Mortgages
  • Mortgage Refinancing
  • Employee Relocation
  • Private Mortgage Insurance Removal
  • Estate Planning
  • Listing Appraisals
  • Divorce Settlement 
  • Expert Testimony
  • Horse Farms
  • Development Land

    My  investment in training and technology has helped my customers greatly reduce their workload. By offering online appraisal ordering, coupled with automatic report status updates and electronic delivery of the final product, I'm able to eliminate the run around and phone tag hassles associated with this process. And since this process saves us money as well, I can keep rates competitive with anybody in the industry.

  • Thorough Research
  • High Quality Appraisal Reports 
  • Competitive Pricing
  • Electronic  Delivery
     
    The fastest way to contact me is by phone. When I leave the office, I forward calls to my cell phone. I'm easy to find. When I'm in the office, I can quickly respond to faxes, email, and phone calls.
  • Through this web site, you can find out more about appraisals and how I work. Spend some time and find out more about my business. The more you know, the better decision you can make. And check back frequently, as I'm always updating the content.
