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

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

Working with an agent to sell your property? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with an experienced agent.

That's where Parkway Appraisals comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Parkway Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to potential buyers, and we can also:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find a a prospective buyer

Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems that might delay your closing
Decrease the chances of unexpected dilemmas that cause negotiations to fizzle

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 actually allowed them 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 amount of value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project can affect value in some way. But each thing impacts marketability differently. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sales price, a professional appraisal from Parkway Appraisals helps homeowners make the decisions.
