Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Associated Appraisal Services, LLC.

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 a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers 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 don'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 on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Associated Appraisal Services, LLC can help you! 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".

Associated Appraisal Services, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to impress potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unknown disputes that can cause sales to crumble
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect 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 costs you'd pay.

We'll step in and help you make these decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.

Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price — our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report.
