Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from James Earp Appraisal Service.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your home, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of sales in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very logical) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you are working with an experienced agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where James Earp Appraisal Service can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".


	With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a sharp listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, 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 home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you squander time and money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Should I put in that third bathroom... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Almost any project can influence value in some way. Unfortunately, not all of them have an effect commensurate with their cost. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

James Earp Appraisal Service will step in and help you make these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our fees are based on efforts to complete the report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from James Earp Appraisal Service. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners like you make the best decisions.
