Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from JGI Valuations.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from JGI Valuations actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price 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. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an accurate listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your house? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very logical) step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you have hired an accomplished real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where JGI Valuations can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

JGI Valuations can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract potential buyers, and we can also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected problems that can cause sales to fall through
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
