Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Deer Creek Appraisals.

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 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. 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. An overpriced home won't attract buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

In today's adapting market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a true listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar homes for sale in your area.

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