Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from .

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get an accurate listing price for your home.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with the most experienced real estate agent.
