Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from A. M. Appraisals.

If you're working with an agent to sell your home, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays competing homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a really important step.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where A. M. Appraisals comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

A knowledgeable appraisal from A. M. Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we'll also:

• Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
• Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
• Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
• Decrease the chances of unexpected messes that cause negotiations to flop
• Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
