Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Professional Appraisal Services

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Working with an agent to sell your home? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in 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 crucial step.

Even if you have been working with an accomplished real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Professional Appraisal Services comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so 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".

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a sharp listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market. Contact us today.

Professional Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we can also:
  • Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
  • Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make yourself aware of problems
  • Decrease the chances of unknown issues that cause the process to fall through
  • Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close
Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract potential buyers, which means you throw away time and money and are left with no offers. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that new bathroom... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Practically any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But not everything will have an equal impact. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. Professional Appraisal Services appraisers have no vested interest in the amount your house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Professional Appraisal Services. When it comes to investing in your home and setting a fair sales price, we'll help homeowners make the wisest decisions.
