Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact TNC Appraisal Service, Inc.

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 a lot more than they expected, 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. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract potential 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 its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

In today's changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a sharp listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing sales houses in your area. It's a customary 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.

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 before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where TNC Appraisal Service, Inc. comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Improvements to add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and TNC Appraisal Service, Inc. can help with that. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect.
