Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Integrity Appraisal Group LLC

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 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 amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

In today's changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a precise listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your property? Quite often you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of 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 house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
