Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Nationwide Property Valuation.

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 home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a factual listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your home, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays competing homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

Even if you've been working with an experienced real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Nationwide Property Valuation comes in! 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 qualified appraisal from Nationwide Property Valuation can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unknown quandaries that cause negotiations to fold
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll step in and help make these important decisions. Nationwide Property Valuation appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
