Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from KP Appraisals, Inc..

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

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 an appraisal from KP Appraisals, Inc. actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious 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 the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a true listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your home? Quite often you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very common) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your 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 an experienced agent.

That's where KP Appraisals, Inc. comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

A skillful appraisal from KP Appraisals, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to impress potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing

Home improvements that add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and KP Appraisals, Inc. can help with that. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
