Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Mitchell Real Estate Appraisals.

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 home is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Mitchell Real Estate Appraisals actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much 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 buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an expert listing price for your home in today's changing market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing sales in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired an experienced real estate agent.

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

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to impress potential buyers
