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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Timely Appraisal Services actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a correct listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your property? Quite often they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sales in your town. 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 logical process.

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

And that's where Timely Appraisal Services can help you! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Improvements to add value

Timely Appraisal Services can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property.
