Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact The McPherson Company, LLC

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

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sales houses in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

Even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where The McPherson Company, LLC comes in! 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".


	With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a true listing price for your home. Contact us today.

An efficient appraisal from The McPherson Company, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have a an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unexpected difficulties that can cause your sale to go up in smoke
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, 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 inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Home improvements that add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Nearly any project can affect value in some way. But each thing impacts value differently. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

The McPherson Company, LLC can help you with these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. A professional appraisal from The McPherson Company, LLC helps homeowners like you make the best-informed decisions on investments to add value and settling on a profit-maximizing price at which to sell.
