Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Shining Rock Appraisal Company, LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal 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 much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, using a certified appraiser is the #1 way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays similar sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very common) step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Shining Rock Appraisal Company, LLC can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's condition inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour

Improvements to add value to your home

Shining Rock Appraisal Company, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect.
