Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Reliable Residential.

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 a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you should also get an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In today's ever-changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get an accurate listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A skillful appraisal from Reliable Residential can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest potential buyers, and we'll also:
  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a potential buyer
  • Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems that might delay your closing
  • Decrease the chances of unknown dilemmas that cause negotiations to go up in smoke
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close
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 an appraisal from Reliable Residential actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) money and are left with no offers. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Home improvements that add value

Reliable Residential can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Almost any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll step in and help make these important decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. An appraisal fee from Reliable Residential is based on our efforts to complete the report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. So a professional appraisal from Reliable Residential will help homeowners make the decisions on investments to add value and deciding on a profit-maximizing price at which to sell.
