Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Allen Residential Appraisals, LLC

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Allen Residential Appraisals, LLC actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract serious 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 the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your home? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very logical) step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

But even if you're working with an experienced agent , it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Allen Residential Appraisals, LLC comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.
