Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Hanna Appraisal Company

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a just listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, however, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Hanna Appraisal Company comes in! We can 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".

Improvements to add value
