Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Nordquist Appraisal 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 house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them 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 estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential 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 the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get an accurate listing price for your home in today's changing market.

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

But even if you are working with the most expert agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

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

Nordquist Appraisal LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Decrease the chances of unexpected issues that cause negotiations to deteriorate
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I 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. Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll 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 finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
