Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Ramey Realty Services.

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 much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get an expert listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market.

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding 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 natural process.

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

That's where Ramey Realty Services comes in! 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".

An efficient appraisal from Ramey Realty Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we'll also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a potential buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unexpected obstacles that can cause your sale to fall through
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Ramey Realty Services can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we 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 have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
