Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from People's Choice Appraisals![]() A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, 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 over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of 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. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market. Hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a precise listing price for your home in today's evolving market. Contact us todayAre you working with an agent to sell your house?

Home improvements that add valueThere are other important questions to 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?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses. We'll help you make some of these decisions.
