Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Tri-State Appraisals.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays competing sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a vital step.

Even if you are working with an expert real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Tri-State Appraisals actually allowed them 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. An overpriced property won't attract serious 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 on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements to add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that new bathroom... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project will influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same return on investment. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses 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. Our fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Tri-State Appraisals. When it comes to investing in your home and settling on a fair price to sell at, we'll help homeowners make the sharpest decisions.
