Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Jencks Appraisal Services, LLC

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 home is much more than they had planned, 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 inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a correct listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected houses for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when 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 logical process.

Even if you have been working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where Jencks Appraisal Services, LLC comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your 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".
