Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from S&N Appraisal, Inc.

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 an agent to list your home? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays competing sale homes in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very common) step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, however, you should also get 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.

That's where S&N Appraisal, Inc comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so 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".

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a true listing price for your home. Contact us today.

  • Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a a prospective buyer
  • Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out

  • Cut down the chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause your sale to fall through

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't 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 its mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and S&N Appraisal, Inc can help with that. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing impacts value differently. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So a professional appraisal from S&N Appraisal, Inc helps you make the best-informed decisions on investments to add value and setting a smart price at which to sell.
