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

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them 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 buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your property, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining 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've been working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".
