Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Jarvis Appraisal Service

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 list your house? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point when determining 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've hired the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

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


	With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a precise listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Jarvis Appraisal Service actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract serious potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Practically any project will influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same return on investment. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

Jarvis Appraisal Service can help you with these important decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. An appraisal fee from Jarvis Appraisal Service is based on our efforts to complete the report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. When it comes to investing in your house and deciding on a fair sale price, a professional appraisal from Jarvis Appraisal Service will help you make the best decisions.
