Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Paradigm Appraisal Group, Inc.

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 house is more than they estimated, 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. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a true listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes comparable homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Paradigm Appraisal Group, Inc comes in! We can perform 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".

Paradigm Appraisal Group, Inc can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we can also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Cut down the chances of unexpected quandaries that can cause sales to fizzle
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
