Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact MacAdams Real Estate Appraisals, LLC

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from MacAdams Real Estate Appraisals, LLC 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 inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential 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 you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's adapting market, hiring a certified appraiser is the best way to get a sharp listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your home? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes a list of homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where MacAdams Real Estate Appraisals, LLC comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".
