Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Mormando And Associates, Inc. (804)350-9819.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Working with an agent to list your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays similar sales in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very common) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the best way to get an exact listing price for your home. Contact us today.

A qualified appraisal from Mormando And Associates, Inc. (804)350-9819 can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue potential buyers, and we'll also:
  • Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
  • Make yourself aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
  • Reduce chances of unknown predicaments that can cause sales to fold
  • Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten
A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract serious potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) money and are left with no prospects for buying your home. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.
