Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Gilpatric Consulting.

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 Gilpatric Consulting actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get an expert listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your home? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very logical) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an 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 real estate agent.

And that's where Gilpatric Consulting can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your home will appeal to buyers. A professional appraisal from Gilpatric Consulting can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown disputes that can cause sales to flop
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, 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 your expenses.

We can step in and help make these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
