Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Parkway Appraisals

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your house, then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays competing homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very common) step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've hired the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

That's where Parkway Appraisals comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.


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

Parkway Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue potential buyers, and we can also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have found a an interested buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unexpected problems that can cause your sale to fizzle
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us 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 home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them 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. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Improvements to add value

Parkway Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Should I put in that third bathroom... Should I finish my closet remodel... Almost any project will affect value in some way. But each thing affects marketability differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Parkway Appraisals can help you with these decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Parkway Appraisals. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners like you make the wisest decisions.
