Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Maddox Appraisal Service LLC

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 list your home? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays a list of houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your goals 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've hired an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get an exact listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Maddox Appraisal Service LLC actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract serious potential buyers, which means you throw away time and money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that new bathroom... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing impacts marketability differently. 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.

Maddox Appraisal Service LLC can help you with these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. When it comes to investing in your home and settling on a fair sale price, a professional appraisal from Maddox Appraisal Service LLC will help you make the sharpest decisions.
