Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Ascension Appraisal.

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 expected, so investing in an appraisal from Ascension Appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits 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 ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a precise listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your property? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sales houses in your town. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural process.

Even if you've hired the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before signing a Listing Agreement.

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

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will bring in potential buyers. A polished appraisal from Ascension Appraisal can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to wow potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
