Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Murphy Appraisal.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar sales houses in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market.

Even if you've hired the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Murphy Appraisal comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".


	With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a true listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract serious potential buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and are left with no offers. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Should I put in that new bathroom... Should I complete my closet remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But each thing affects value differently. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

Murphy Appraisal can help you with these decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So a professional appraisal from Murphy Appraisal helps homeowners like you make the decisions when it comes to investments to add value and settling on a smart listing price.
