Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Driskell & Associates, LLC

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 house? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a really important step.
