Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Abbey, Abe, & Maikranz Appraisal Co..

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with An agent to sell your house, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

In our opinion, however, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from a licensed professional who tracks real estate values for living - BEFORE putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

That's where Abbey, Abe, & Maikranz Appraisal Co. comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a precise listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market. Contact us today.

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 from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home.

An overpriced house won't attract interested 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.

Improvements to add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Does the tile need replacing... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project can affect value in some way. Unfortunately, not all of them have an effect commensurate with their cost.
