Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Tyler Martin Appraisals.

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 more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Tyler Martin Appraisals comes in! We'll do 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 home's features.

A professional appraisal from Tyler Martin Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm potential buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have a prospective buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Decrease the chances of unknown obstacles that cause the process to fold
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

Tyler Martin Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Appraisers have no 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 the sales price.

Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price — our fees are based on efforts to complete your report. So a professional appraisal from Tyler Martin Appraisals will help you make the decisions when it comes to investing in their house and deciding on a fair sales price.
