Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from P C Appraisal Services.

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 more than they estimated, 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 decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to list your property, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you have hired an experienced agent.

And that's where P C Appraisal Services comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so 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".

In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell so your home will intrigue potential buyers. A polished appraisal from P C Appraisal Services can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have found an interested buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unexpected issues that can cause your sale to fall through
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
