Need a pre-listing appraisal or a cash offer second opinion?

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 home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a fair listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Working with an agent to sell your home? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes a list of sales in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

Even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement.
