Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Taylor Appraisal Service, 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 much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious 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. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to list your home, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays comparable homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you are working with the most experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We'll perform 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".

An efficient appraisal from Taylor Appraisal Service, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unknown dilemmas that cause the process to crumble

Improvements to add value

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