Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from KEY INSIGHT.

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 more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. 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. An overpriced house will not attract buyers, which means you have wasted time on 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. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a skillful listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays a list of sales houses in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a really important step.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where KEY INSIGHT can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your house will interest buyers. An efficient appraisal from KEY INSIGHT can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unexpected obstacles that cause negotiations to flop
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

KEY INSIGHT can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
