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

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 more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious 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. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your home, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sales houses in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

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

An efficient appraisal from Anglum Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Cut down the chances of unexpected problems that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
