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.

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 a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value 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 on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to list your home, then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar houses for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

But even if you're working with an expert real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where Anderson & Associates comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your 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".
