Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Michael P. Clover

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

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your home? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of sales in your local area. It's a good starting point in 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 move.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.


	Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a factual listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market. Contact us today.

Michael P. Clover can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, and we can also:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to impress buyers
Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unexpected problems that can cause your sale to flop
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Michael P. Clover actually allowed these people 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract potential buyers, which means you waste time and money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Does the tile need replacing... Should I finish my closet remodel... Nearly any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair price to sell at, A professional appraisal from us will help you make the smartest decisions.
