Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Matrix Appraisal Group.

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 home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people 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 estimated value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a sharp listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your home, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays comparable sale homes in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a logical process.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

That's where Matrix Appraisal Group comes in! We can perform 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.

In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell so your house will charm buyers. A skillful appraisal from Matrix Appraisal Group can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unexpected headaches that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your house. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
