Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from JOSEPH P BALDINO.

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 much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from JOSEPH P BALDINO actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. 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. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still 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 is still sitting on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your property? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial (and very logical) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an appraisal from a licensed professional who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where JOSEPH P BALDINO comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

An efficient appraisal from JOSEPH P BALDINO can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we'll also:

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
