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.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your house, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you are working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

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