Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from

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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a true listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very logical) step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

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