Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Miller Appraisal Associates.

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 much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property 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. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a factual listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your property, then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sale homes in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a really important step.

But even if you've been working with the most accomplished real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where Miller Appraisal Associates comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so 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.

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your house will bring in buyers. An expert appraisal from Miller Appraisal Associates can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a prospective buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Reduce chances of unexpected dilemmas that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Miller Appraisal Associates can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
