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

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 a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Diversified Appraisal 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 value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract 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 its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a correct listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

Even if you've hired the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

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

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers. A qualified appraisal from Diversified Appraisal can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unexpected predicaments that cause the process to break down
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.
