Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Highland Appraisal Group, Inc.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with an agent to list your home? Then you can expect them to 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. This step is really important if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

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

And that's where Highland Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, 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. There are also plenty of 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. Overpriced homes don't attract 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 its mortgage.

Home improvements that add value
