Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Foster Appraisal Services.

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 a real estate agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays competing houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding 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 standard process.

But even if you have been working with the most accomplished real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can do 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.


	Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a true listing price for your home in today's adapting market. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them 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. An overpriced home won't attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and still have no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that third bathroom... Should I finish my closet remodel... Nearly any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. When it comes to investing in your house and settling on a fair sale price, a professional appraisal from Foster Appraisal Services will help you make the wisest decisions.
