Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Affinity Appraisals, LLC.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us 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 value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a proper listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market.

Working with a real estate agent to list your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you are working with the most experienced agent.

And that's where Affinity Appraisals, LLC 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.

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your home will charm potential buyers. A polished appraisal from Affinity Appraisals, LLC can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown headaches that can cause your sale to fizzle
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Affinity Appraisals, LLC appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the home sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on effort and time involved to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. A professional appraisal from Affinity Appraisals, LLC will help you make decisions when it comes to investing in improvements for your home and setting a fair listing price.
