Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Nordquist Appraisal 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 house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people 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 will not attract serious 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a sharp listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Working with an agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you've been working with the most experienced agent.

And that's where Nordquist Appraisal LLC can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your house will appeal to buyers. A skillful appraisal from Nordquist Appraisal LLC can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have found a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unknown complications that can cause your sale to fold
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

Nordquist Appraisal LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out your costs before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
