Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Ru 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 home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. 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 home is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a just listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very common) step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

But even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent , it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

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

A qualified appraisal from Ru Appraisals, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's condition inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unexpected complications that can cause your sale to flop
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.
