Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Phoenix Valuations, LLC.

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Phoenix Valuations, LLC actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still 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 sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a proper listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your goals 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 - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Phoenix Valuations, LLC comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

A qualified appraisal from Phoenix Valuations, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm buyers, and we'll also:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to impress buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown difficulties that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your property. Questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
