Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Yahara Appraisals LLC.

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 thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to list your property? Quite often you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sales in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

And that's where Yahara Appraisals LLC comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

A skillful appraisal from Yahara Appraisals LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Cut down the chances of unknown headaches that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Yahara Appraisals LLC appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your home sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
