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

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 more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-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. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get an accurate listing price for your home.

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

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

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

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

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to wow potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unexpected messes that cause negotiations to flop
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your house. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet 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 your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.
