"Appraising Residential Real Estate Since 1992"

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

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 list your property, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays similar houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

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

That's where Hardy Appraisal Service comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent 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 best way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's evolving market. Contact us today.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Hardy Appraisal Service actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that new bathroom... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Practically any project can influence value in some way. But each thing impacts value differently. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

Hardy Appraisal Service can help you with these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. When it comes to investing in your house and settling on a fair sales price, a professional appraisal from Hardy Appraisal Service helps homeowners make the wisest decisions.
