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

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them 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. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to list your house, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays selected houses for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when determining 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.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing the Listing Agreement, even if you have hired an experienced real estate agent.

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

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will interest potential buyers. A polished appraisal from Lightspeed Appraisal Group can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause your sale to deteriorate
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.
