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.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Allstate Appraisal, Inc. 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 over-inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a precise listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sale homes in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you have hired the most experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Improvements that add value to your home

Allstate Appraisal, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect.
