Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Mid-Ohio Appraisal Services.

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 a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or 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 vital if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Mid-Ohio Appraisal Services comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate 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 addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, a polished appraisal from Mid-Ohio Appraisal Services can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to impress potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unknown dilemmas that can cause sales to fall through
Eliminate the wait 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 a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and money and are left with no prospects for buying your home. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Almost any project will affect value in some way. But, 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 your expenses.

Mid-Ohio Appraisal Services can help you with these decisions. Mid-Ohio Appraisal Services appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Mid-Ohio Appraisal Services. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners like you make the most financially sound decisions.
