Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Gregory James Company, Inc..

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your home, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a vital step.

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

And that's where Gregory James Company, Inc. can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Gregory James Company, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will draw in potential buyers, and we can also:

• Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a prospective buyer
• Impress buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
• Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
• Cut down the chances of unknown headaches that can cause sales to fizzle
• Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them 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 your expenses.

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