Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Doty Appraisals, Inc..

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 an appraisal from Doty Appraisals, Inc. actually allowed these sellers 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 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 no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your house? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in deciding 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.

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Doty Appraisals, Inc. can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your home will intrigue buyers. An efficient appraisal from Doty Appraisals, Inc. can:

Provide written proof of your house's condition inside and out to impress potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour

Home improvements that add value

Doty Appraisals, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
