Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from J DeMars Real Estate Appraisal.

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 an agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where J DeMars Real Estate Appraisal comes in! We'll do 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".

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from J DeMars Real Estate Appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract interested buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and J DeMars Real Estate Appraisal can help with that. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Does the tile need replacing... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We can step in and help make these important decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. A professional appraisal from J DeMars Real Estate Appraisal will help you make the sharpest decisions when it comes to investments to add value and settling on a smart listing price.
