Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Market Appraisal, 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 house is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Market Appraisal, Inc actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to list your home, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays a list of sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural move.

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

And that's where Market Appraisal, Inc comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so both 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".

A polished appraisal from Market Appraisal, Inc can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, and we'll also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Reduce chances of unknown headaches that can cause sales to fizzle
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. An appraisal fee from Market Appraisal, Inc is based on our efforts to finalize your report, and are not a percentage of the sales price.
