Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Nationwide Property Valuation.

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'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. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential 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 its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a proper listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

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

And that's where Nationwide Property Valuation can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so 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.
