Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from RWA 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 home is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from RWA Appraisals 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 price value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays 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.

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a proper listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your home, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a vital step.

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

And that's where RWA Appraisals comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.
