Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Leonard 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. Are you working with a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sale homes in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing a Listing Agreement, even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Leonard Appraisal Services, LLC can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a true listing price for your home. Contact us today.
