Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from R.M. Rose.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Are you working with an agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural move.

Even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where R.M. Rose comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so 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".


	Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's evolving market. Contact us today.

R.M. Rose can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find a an interested buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems that might delay a closing
Reduce chances of unknown predicaments that can cause your sale to go up in smoke
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Does the tile need replacing... Should I complete my closet remodel... Nearly any project will affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same return on investment. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from R.M. Rose. When it comes to investing in your home and settling on a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners make the wisest decisions.
