Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Dawson Appraisal Services, LLC

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 home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Dawson Appraisal Services, LLC actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an 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 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 its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a skillful listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sales in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with the most experienced agent.

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

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers. A qualified appraisal from Dawson Appraisal Services, LLC can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing

Home improvements that add value

Dawson Appraisal Services, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house.
