Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact AppraisalWorks

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people 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 estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious 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 the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a sharp listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sale homes in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

Even if you have been working with an accomplished agent , it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where AppraisalWorks can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your home will draw in buyers. A polished appraisal from AppraisalWorks can:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unknown predicaments that can cause sales to deteriorate
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll step in and help make these important decisions. AppraisalWorks appraisers have no vested interest in the amount your home sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
