Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact M.C. Appraisals, Inc. (410) 827-0771

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

Working with an agent to sell your house? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable sales in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from a professional who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where M.C. Appraisals, Inc. (410) 827-0771 comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and money and still have no prospects for buying your home. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and M.C. Appraisals, Inc. (410) 827-0771 can help with that. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Almost any project will influence value in some way. But, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from M.C. Appraisals, Inc. (410) 827-0771. When it comes to investing in your house and settling on a fair sale price, we'll help homeowners make the sharpest decisions.
