Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from KJay Appraisals, LLC.

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 home is a lot more than they expected, 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

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

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays a list of sales houses in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

But even if you have hired the most expert real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where KJay Appraisals, LLC comes in! We can perform 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".

An expert appraisal from KJay Appraisals, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we'll also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unexpected problems that can cause sales to deteriorate
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements that add value to your home

KJay Appraisals, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. 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 the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
