Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from M.K. Burnett Appraisals.

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 a real estate agent to sell your home, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays comparable homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

But even if you have been working with an expert agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where M.K. Burnett Appraisals comes in! We can do 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.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's changing market. Contact us today.

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, a skillful appraisal from M.K. Burnett Appraisals can:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
  • Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
  • Cut down the chances of unknown predicaments that can cause sales to flop
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten
A lot of sellers are shocked 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 M.K. Burnett Appraisals actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means you squander time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Improvements to add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing affects marketability differently. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. M.K. Burnett Appraisals appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report. So a professional appraisal from M.K. Burnett Appraisals will help homeowners make the sharpest decisions on investments to add value and deciding on a fair price at which to sell.
