Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Janet Arbeter, Appraiser

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 CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

But even if you are working with the most expert agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Janet Arbeter, Appraiser comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.


	In today's changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a factual listing price for your home. Contact us today.
