Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Bower Appraisal 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 much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Bower Appraisal Inc. actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting 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 fluctuating market, using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a factual listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your house? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable houses for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining 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.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you are working with the most experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Bower Appraisal Inc. comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Bower Appraisal Inc. can help with that.
