Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from A. M. Appraisals.

Are you working with an agent to sell your house? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding 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.

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

That's where we come in! We can do 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".

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic price to sell so your home will appeal to buyers. A professional appraisal from A. M. Appraisals can:

• Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
• Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to blow away buyers
• Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
• Decrease the chances of unknown disputes that cause negotiations to break down
• Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value

A. M. Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. An appraisal fee from A. M.
