Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Town and Shore Appraisal Services, Inc.

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 much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Town and Shore Appraisal Services, Inc. actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get an expert listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays competing sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

Even if you've hired the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Town and Shore Appraisal Services, Inc. can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.
