Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Barefoot Appraisal.

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 an appraisal from Barefoot Appraisal actually allowed these people 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. Overpriced homes don't attract 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 its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an expert listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes comparable homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining 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 standard process.

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

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

Improvements to add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home There are many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home -- and Barefoot Appraisal can help with that. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?"
