Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Empire Appraisals Inc.

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get an expert listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays a list of sale homes in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you are working with the most experienced agent.

And that's where Empire Appraisals Inc can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your home will appeal to potential buyers. A polished appraisal from Empire Appraisals Inc can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a prospective buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unknown predicaments that can cause sales to fall through
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Empire Appraisals Inc can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.
