Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Mike Noble Appraisals.

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

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 them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious 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 its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a just listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Mike Noble Appraisals comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.
