Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Anderson Appraisals.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Are you working with an agent to sell your house? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes a list of sale homes in your town. It's a customary starting point when 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 logical move.

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

And that's where Anderson Appraisals can help you! We'll perform 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".

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Anderson Appraisals actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that new bathroom... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Nearly any project has the potential to affect value in some way. Unfortunately, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

We can step in and help you make these important decisions. Anderson Appraisals appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike an agent. An appraisal fee from Anderson Appraisals is based on our efforts to finalize the report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. So a professional appraisal from Anderson Appraisals helps homeowners make the wisest decisions when it comes to investments to add value and settling on a fair listing price.
