Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Appraisals For Land & Homes

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with a real estate agent to list your property, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a vital step.

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

And that's where Appraisals For Land & Homes 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 comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a proper listing price for your home. Contact us today.

So many people are blown away 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 people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract interested 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 property is still sitting on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Should I put in that third bathroom... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Practically any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

Appraisals For Land & Homes can help you with these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent on commission will. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Appraisals For Land & Homes. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners like you make the smartest decisions.
