Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Matt Stomprud Appraisals LLC

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 house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Matt Stomprud Appraisals LLC actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home 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. An overpriced house will not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a solid listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable sale homes in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

Even if you are working with the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Matt Stomprud Appraisals LLC comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".
