Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from 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.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you're working with the most experienced agent.

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

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will charm potential buyers, a skillful appraisal from Appraisal-One can:

Be a an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find a a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to impress potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make yourself aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unknown complications that can cause sales to fall through
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements to add value

Appraisal-One can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Nearly any project will affect value in some way. But each thing impacts marketability differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- our fees are based on efforts to complete your report. A professional appraisal from Appraisal-One helps you make the decisions on investments to add value and setting a profit-maximizing price at which to sell.
