Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a precise listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your home, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a logical process.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from a professional who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so 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.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the expenses involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
