Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract interested buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a solid listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your house? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays competing houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

But even if you have hired the most accomplished real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Improvements to add value to your home
