Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Upon The Rock Real Estate Services, LLC

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Upon The Rock Real Estate Services, LLC actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get an exact listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays a list of houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

That's where we come in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".
