Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Mulcock Appraising.

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 house 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. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract interested 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. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

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

Working with an agent to list your house? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement, even if you have hired the most experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Mulcock Appraising comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Mulcock Appraising can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we can also:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a prospective buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Decrease the chances of unknown predicaments that cause negotiations to break down
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Mulcock Appraising will step in and help make these important decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
