Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Michael J. Ganguzza

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Michael J. Ganguzza actually allowed these people 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 much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them 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 you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a solid listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to list your home? Then they'll provide you with 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 is a vital (and very logical) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement, even if you have hired an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Michael J. Ganguzza 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.

Home improvements that add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Michael J. Ganguzza can help with that. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?"
