Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Stone County Appraisals, 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 much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Stone County Appraisals, Inc actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much 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 do not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a just listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining 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 logical process.

But even if you are working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement.

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

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things which 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 the expenses.
