Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from Di Cicco & Associates.

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 home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a sharp listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your home? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes comparable sale homes in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market.

Even if you've hired an expert agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Di Cicco & Associates 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 home's features.
