Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Stephanie Dietz.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Stephanie Dietz actually allowed them 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 don't 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 the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a sharp listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays similar homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Stephanie Dietz can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers. A qualified appraisal from Stephanie Dietz can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found an interested buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unknown disputes that can cause your sale to go up in smoke
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.
