Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from The Blaine Group.

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 sell your house? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar sales in your area. It's a customary starting point in determining 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 standard process.

Even if you've hired an expert agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

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

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a factual listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market. Contact us today.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract interested buyers, which means you squander time and money and are left with no prospects for buying your home. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the tile need replacing... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project can influence value in some way. Unfortunately, not all of them have an effect commensurate with their cost. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll step in and help make these important decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair sale price, A professional appraisal from us helps homeowners like you make the sharpest decisions.
