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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, 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. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your house? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected sales houses in your local area. 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 standard move.

But even if you have hired the most expert real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Appraisal-One can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate 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 addition to helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Appraisal-One can:

  • Help provide advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
  • Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to blow away buyers
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
  • Cut down the chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause your sale to break down
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Appraisal-One appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. An appraisal fee from Appraisal-One is based on our efforts to complete your report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price — our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report.
