Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc..

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 sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural process.

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc. can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get an accurate listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market. Contact us today.

An expert appraisal from Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we'll also:
  • Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
  • Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to wow potential buyers
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems
  • Reduce chances of unknown problems that can cause sales to deteriorate
  • Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through
Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc. actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Should I complete my closet remodel... Almost any project can influence value in some way. But, not all of them have an effect commensurate with their cost. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc. can help you with these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. A professional appraisal from Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc. helps you make the sharpest decisions on investments to add value and settling on a profit-maximizing sales price.
