Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Michigan Appraisal Company, Inc.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of sale homes in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, though, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

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

Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market. Contact us today.

Michigan Appraisal Company, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we can also:
  • Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find a an interested buyer
  • Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract serious buyers, which means you throw away time and money and still have no offers. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.
