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.

So many people are blown away 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 a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract 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. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

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

Working with a real estate agent to list your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you should also get an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Nationwide Property Valuation comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to wow potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing

Improvements to add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home There are many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home -- and Nationwide Property Valuation can help with that. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?"

A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
