Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Appraisal People

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 a real estate agent to list your home? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

That's where we come in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Improvements to add value

Is now the time to add a deck... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Almost any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
