Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Appraisal House, Inc..

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

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

Working with a real estate agent to sell your home? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes a list of houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very logical) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Appraisal House, Inc. comes in! We'll perform 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".

Appraisal House, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find a prospective buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown messes that cause the process to flop
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.
