Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Wahl Appraisal Service

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 house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people 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 buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

In today's changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a fair listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your home? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays selected sales houses in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a standard move.

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

And that's where Wahl Appraisal Service comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house There are many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home -- and Wahl Appraisal Service can help with that.
