Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Lundquist Appraisals & Real Estate Services.

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 more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't 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 the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

In today's changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an expert listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your house? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your town. 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 vital step.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement, even if you're working with the most experienced agent.

That's where Lundquist Appraisals & Real Estate Services comes in! We'll do 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".

Lundquist Appraisals & Real Estate Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unknown difficulties that can cause sales to fold
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
