What constitutes a successful appraisal during a sale?

This house appraised for more than the asking price which was above top market at the time. How did this happen? This home was under our property management for five years. The owner decided to sell it and asked us to sell the home. We prepared the home to be shown in its very best aesthetic condition. During the time we managed the home, we made timely and meaningful updates to it which increased the value later. We made it very easy for the inspectors and appraiser to go through the home. Want to get the most out of your home when selling? Call us to sell your home today!
