Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Campbell & Associates Appraisers, Inc..

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home 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. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a true listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your property, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes a list of sales in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

But even if you're working with an expert real estate agent , it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where Campbell & Associates Appraisers, Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

In addition to helping you set a realistic price to sell so your home will attract buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Campbell & Associates Appraisers, Inc. can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unexpected dilemmas that can cause your sale to crumble
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent do. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. An appraisal fee from Campbell & Associates Appraisers, Inc. is based on our efforts to finalize the report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price — our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. So a professional appraisal from Campbell & Associates Appraisers, Inc. helps you make the best decisions when it comes to investing in their houses and setting a fair sales price.
