Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Yearsley & Jones Real Estate Appraisal Services

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a standard move.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Yearsley & Jones Real Estate Appraisal Services can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.


	With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a skillful listing price for your home. Contact us today.

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 a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them 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 estimated value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the tile need replacing... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Practically any project will influence value in some way. But not everything will have an equal impact.
