Pre-Listing Appraisal

 

 

We can provide you with an objective appraisal, which is more accurate than a Realtor Comparative Market Analysis (CMA).  A pre-listing appraisal ensures that both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and comparable sales, listings and pending sales.

 In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price, a professional appraisal:

  • Provides an effective tool for negotiating with potential buyers and their agents.
  • Instills confidence in potential buyers as you have a written professional opinion of value.
  • Highlights for you any obvious repair problems which helps eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing. Note: an appraisal is not a home inspection.
  • Decreases the chances of sales falling through.

Proper Pricing

An overpriced home attracts few potential buyers, wasting time, money, and marketing efforts. An under priced home can result in a lower selling price. Getting a pre-listing appraisal will help you and your realtor determine a list price that will maximize your chances of selling quickly for the market price.

Improvements to Add Value

We can help you determine what, if any, improvements would most be the most cost effective in adding value to your home.  Should you remodel the bathroom prior to selling?  Should you replace the roof? We can help you answer such questions.
