Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Caleb Hollis Appraisals Inc..

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 house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Caleb Hollis Appraisals Inc. actually allowed these sellers 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 amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes 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 home sits on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the best way to get an exact listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your home? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

But even if you're working with an accomplished agent , it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Caleb Hollis Appraisals Inc. comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both 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".

Caleb Hollis Appraisals Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract potential buyers, and we can also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing

Home improvements that add value

Caleb Hollis Appraisals Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
