Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from P C Appraisal Services.

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 a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your home, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very common) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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 real estate agent.

And that's where P C Appraisal Services can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will intrigue buyers. A qualified appraisal from P C Appraisal Services can:
