Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Midtown Appraisals LLC.

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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Midtown Appraisals LLC 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 estimated 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. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to sell your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable sales in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you should also get an appraisal from a professional who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

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