Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Proper Appraisal Services, LLC.

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 home is a lot more than they'd planned, 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. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a fair listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a really important step.

Even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Proper Appraisal Services, LLC can help you! We can do 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.
