Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Timeline 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.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them 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 estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to sell your home, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very common) step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with an experienced agent.

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

Timeline Appraisal Services, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we can also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown obstacles that can cause your sale to fall through
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to 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. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
