Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from M Davies Appraisal LLC.

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 home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an expert listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market.

Working with a real estate agent to list your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement, even if you've hired the most experienced agent.

And that's where M Davies Appraisal LLC can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

A professional appraisal from M Davies Appraisal LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm potential buyers, and we'll also:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a potential buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unknown issues that cause the process to break down
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third 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. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
