Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Timely Appraisal Services.

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 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. 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 home is still sitting on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a just listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

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

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

That's where we come in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

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

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Decrease the chances of unexpected obstacles that cause negotiations to break down
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent do. Our fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
