Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from A. C. T. Heller Appraisal Service (260) 471-1500.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Working with a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays similar houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you have hired an experienced agent.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get an accurate listing price for your home in today's adapting market. Contact us today.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot 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. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means you throw away time and money and are left with no prospects for buying your home. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Practically any project will affect value in some way. But each thing impacts value differently. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. A professional appraisal from A. C. T. Heller Appraisal Service (260) 471-1500 helps homeowners make the best decisions when it comes to investments to add value and setting a smart listing price.
