Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Kiesz & Associates, LLC

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 actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while 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 skillful listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining 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 really important step.

But even if you have hired an experienced real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing the Listing Agreement.
