Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Harmon Appraisal & Consulting, LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with an agent to list your property? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding 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.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Harmon Appraisal & Consulting, LLC comes in! We can 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.

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a factual listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Harmon Appraisal & Consulting, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we can also:
  • Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have a an interested buyer
  • Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems that might delay a closing
  • Cut down the chances of unknown messes that can cause your sale to flop
  • Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd 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 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. An overpriced home won't attract serious buyers, which means you squander time and money and still have no prospects for buying your home. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Improvements to add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Almost any project will affect value in some way. But not everything will have an equal effect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Harmon Appraisal & Consulting, LLC. When it comes to investing in your home and setting a fair price to sell at, we'll help homeowners make the sharpest decisions.
