Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Jamie Moore.

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a factual listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays comparable sales in your area. 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 move.

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

And that's where Jamie Moore comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so 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.

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing

Home improvements that add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house There are many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home -- and Jamie Moore can help with that. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?"

Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
