Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Appraisal-One.

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 house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to list your home? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've hired the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

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

Appraisal-One can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we can also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to wow potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Reduce chances of unexpected complications that can cause sales to crumble
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

Appraisal-One can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

We can step in and help make these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price. An appraisal fee from Appraisal-One is based on our efforts to complete your report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price — our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report. So a professional appraisal from Appraisal-One helps homeowners like you make the wisest decisions when it comes to investing in their houses and setting a fair sale price.
