Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Gregory James Company, Inc.

Working with an agent to sell your home? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Gregory James Company, Inc. can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your 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".

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your house will interest buyers. An efficient appraisal from Gregory James Company, Inc. can:

• Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
• Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to blow away potential buyers
• Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
• Cut down the chances of unknown quandaries that can cause sales to flop
• Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.
