Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from The Appraisal Firm LLC.

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 home is a lot more than they'd planned, 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. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot 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 do not attract potential 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 you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very common) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

And that's where The Appraisal Firm LLC can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

The Appraisal Firm LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we can also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing

Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, 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.

Our fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
