Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Allstate Appraisal, 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 home is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Allstate Appraisal, Inc. 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not 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 you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

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

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sales in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a standard move.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement.

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

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out

Reduce chances of unexpected difficulties that can cause sales to fizzle

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
