Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from McGreal & Company.

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 a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from McGreal & Company 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 inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get an expert listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable sales in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent.

And that's where McGreal & Company comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so 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".

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your home will draw in potential buyers. A qualified appraisal from McGreal & Company can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown dilemmas that can cause your sale to fold
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

McGreal & Company can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to 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 may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
