Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Metropolitan Real Estate Appraisal Service, Inc.

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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Metropolitan Real Estate Appraisal Service, Inc. actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot 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. An overpriced home won't 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 the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a true listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your property, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a really important step.

But even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where Metropolitan Real Estate Appraisal Service, Inc. comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Improvements that add value to your home

Metropolitan Real Estate Appraisal Service, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.
