Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from May Appraisal Service, Inc.

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from May Appraisal Service, Inc 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 price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a true listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

But even if you've hired the most expert real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where May Appraisal Service, Inc can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "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 closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
