Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from MRA Appraisal Company.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with an agent to list your property? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sales in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you should also get an appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - PRIOR to listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

That's where MRA Appraisal Company comes in! We can do 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 home's features.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a proper listing price for your home. Contact us today.

MRA Appraisal Company can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue buyers, and we can also:
  • Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
  • Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to impress buyers
  • Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Cut down the chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause sales to fizzle
  • Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers 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 estimated value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home -- and MRA Appraisal Company can help with that. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that third bathroom... Should I finish my closet remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing affects marketability differently. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

MRA Appraisal Company can help you with these decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from MRA Appraisal Company. When it comes to investing in your house and settling on a fair price to sell at, we'll help you make the best decisions.
