Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Milwaukee Appraisal Co./Stowe Appraisals.

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 actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a precise listing price for your home in today's adapting market.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your property, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes comparable sale homes in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from a professional who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Milwaukee Appraisal Co./Stowe Appraisals comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.
