Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Anderson & Associates.

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Anderson & Associates actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 serious 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 property is still sitting on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your home, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing sales in your town. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a logical move.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion 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 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".

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your home will charm potential buyers. A polished appraisal from Anderson & Associates can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found an interested buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Decrease the chances of unexpected quandaries that cause negotiations to fold
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value to your home

Anderson & Associates can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. 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 everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
