Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from ALC Appraisal Services, PLC.

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 thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a proper listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've hired an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.
