Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Lundquist Appraisals & Real Estate Services.

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 house is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Lundquist Appraisals & Real Estate Services actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home 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. An overpriced property will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a solid listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement.

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

A qualified appraisal from Lundquist Appraisals & Real Estate Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to impress potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unknown obstacles that can cause your sale to fold
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.
