Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Thompson Appraisal & Consulting

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 property is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Thompson Appraisal & Consulting actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their property's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your property is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely use a certified appraiser to get a skillful listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of properties for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your property's listing price. If you're going to minimize the property's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a vital step.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Thompson Appraisal & Consulting can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your property's features (including size) and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

An appraisal from Thompson Appraisal & Consulting can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your property will entice buyers.
