Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Appraisal-One

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 list your home? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market.

In our opinion, however, you should also get an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Appraisal-One comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".


	In today's changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a fair listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Appraisal-One can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue potential buyers, and we can also:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find a a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unexpected disputes that can cause your sale to fizzle
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Appraisal-One actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the carpet need replacing... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But each thing impacts value differently. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Appraisal-One appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. An appraisal fee from Appraisal-One is based on our efforts to finalize the report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Appraisal-One. When it comes to investing in your home and setting a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners make the wisest decisions.
