Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Timely 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.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still 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 still sitting on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get an accurate listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your property, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a standard process.

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

That's where Timely Appraisal Services comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

In addition to helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers. A professional appraisal from Timely Appraisal Services can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour

Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. 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 closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
