Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Young Appraisal Company, Inc..

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract 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 the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's changing market.

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar houses for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very common) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Improvements that add value to your home

Young Appraisal Company, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
