Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Pinnacle Appraisal Inc..

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Pinnacle Appraisal Inc. actually allowed these people 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. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes comparable homes for sale in your area. It's a customary 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 natural process.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you're working with the most experienced agent.

That's where Pinnacle Appraisal Inc. comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A polished appraisal from Pinnacle Appraisal Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we'll also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet 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 might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
