Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Kelly Appraisal Firm, 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 house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Kelly Appraisal Firm, LLC actually allowed these sellers 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 a lot 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. An overpriced house will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's changing market.

If you're working with an agent to list your house, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

In our opinion, however, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Kelly Appraisal Firm, LLC comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your house will charm buyers. A skillful appraisal from Kelly Appraisal Firm, LLC can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to impress potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Decrease the chances of unknown predicaments that cause negotiations to go up in smoke
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your property. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.
