Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Mike Noble Appraisals

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 a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a proper listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding 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 natural move.

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Mike Noble Appraisals comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will appeal to buyers. An expert appraisal from Mike Noble Appraisals can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unknown headaches that can cause your sale to fizzle
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Mike Noble Appraisals can help you with these important decisions. Unlike an 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.
