Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from A.P.E.R. Appraisals.

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

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 displays comparable sales in your town. It's a customary 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 really important step.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from a professional who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your 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".


	In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a sharp listing price for your home. Contact us today.

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your home will charm potential buyers, a skillful appraisal from A.P.E.R. Appraisals can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unknown disputes that can cause your sale to break down
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them 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 price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you waste time and money and still have no offers. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and A.P.E.R. Appraisals can help with that. Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Does the carpet need replacing... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project will affect value in some way. But not everything will have an equal effect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
