Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Faulkner Appraisal Services, Inc..

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your 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 agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where Faulkner Appraisal Services, Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a just listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home 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. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

There are many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home -- and Faulkner Appraisal Services, Inc. can help with that. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Almost any project can influence value in some way. But not everything will have an equal effect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

Faulkner Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you with these important decisions. Faulkner Appraisal Services, Inc. appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the home sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. When it comes to investing in your home and setting a fair price to sell at, a professional appraisal from Faulkner Appraisal Services, Inc. will help you make the sharpest decisions.
