Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Bullard Appraisals, Inc..

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them 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 decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a fair listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your property, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when 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 process.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Bullard Appraisals, Inc. comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both 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".

Bullard Appraisals, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm potential buyers, and we can also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unknown predicaments that can cause sales to fall through
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

Bullard Appraisals, Inc. can help you with these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
