Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Hutchinson Appraisal Services, LLC.

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 much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Hutchinson Appraisal Services, LLC actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get an exact listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a vital step.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

That's where Hutchinson Appraisal Services, LLC comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Hutchinson Appraisal Services, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Cut down the chances of unexpected difficulties that can cause sales to deteriorate
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
