Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Robbins-Marine Property Valuation, Inc.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your home? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable houses for sale in your town. It's a customary 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 licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Robbins-Marine Property Valuation, Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In today's evolving market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a sharp listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. 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. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Home improvements that add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck...
