Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Robert R. Nieling & Associates, 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 expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

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

Working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a really important step.

Even if you've hired an accomplished real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

Improvements that add value to your home

Robert R. Nieling & Associates, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?"

A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
