Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Moody 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.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Moody Appraisal Group, Inc. actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a correct listing price for your home.

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 (CMA) that displays comparable sale homes in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

That's where Moody Appraisal Group, Inc. comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Improvements to add value

Moody Appraisal Group, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
