Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from JGB Appraisals LLC.

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 had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to list your house, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sales in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a vital step.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you've hired an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.
