Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Koutnik 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 a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Koutnik Appraisals Inc actually allowed these people 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 a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your home, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays competing houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in 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.

And that's where Koutnik Appraisals Inc comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".
