Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Advanced Appraisal Experts

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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Advanced Appraisal Experts actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for 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. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get an exact listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing sale homes in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the home's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Advanced Appraisal Experts can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will appeal to buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Advanced Appraisal Experts can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unknown difficulties that can cause your sale to break down
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent do. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
