Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact A. M. Appraisals

Working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected sales in your local area. It's a good starting point in 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 standard process.

Even if you're 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 A. M. Appraisals can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so both 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.

A professional appraisal from A. M. Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest potential buyers, and we'll also:

• Help provide advice when negotiating once you have found an interested buyer
• Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
• Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
• Reduce chances of unknown messes that can cause sales to fizzle
• Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

A. M. Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish 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. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Our fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. An appraisal fee from A. M.
