Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Think Tank Appraisal.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 home will not attract potential 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. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable sales houses in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining 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 standard move.

But even if you are working with an expert agent , it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where Think Tank Appraisal comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Think Tank Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, and we can also:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a prospective buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unknown problems that can cause your sale to deteriorate
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We can step in and help you make these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent do. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
