Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from David M. Johnson.

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 list your property? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a logical move.

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

That's where David M. Johnson comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both 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 changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a solid listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Johnson actually allowed these sellers 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 a lot 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 property won't attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Upgrades that improve your home's value
