Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from ExactAppraise, Inc..

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

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 an appraisal from ExactAppraise, Inc. actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

In today's evolving market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a true listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to list your house? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where ExactAppraise, Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A professional appraisal from ExactAppraise, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we'll also:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unknown obstacles that can cause sales to break down
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

Our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
