Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Patterson Appraisal Service.

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

Working with a real estate agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing sales in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired an experienced agent.

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us 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 over-inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

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

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. An appraisal fee from Patterson Appraisal Service is based on our efforts to complete your report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Patterson Appraisal Service. When it comes to investing in your home and settling on a fair sale price, we'll help homeowners make the best decisions.
