Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Gregory James Company, Inc.![]() Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Gregory James Company, Inc. 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 estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential 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 on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market. With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a correct listing price for your home.

Improvements to add value to your homeIn addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses have an effect on 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 your expenses. Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you.
