Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Advantage Appraisal Services, LLC

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 list your home? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar sale homes in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize your house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a vital step.

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

And that's where Advantage Appraisal Services, LLC can help you! We can perform 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.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and are left with no prospects for buying your home. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

Advantage Appraisal Services, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But each thing affects marketability differently. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. So a professional appraisal from Advantage Appraisal Services, LLC helps homeowners make the sharpest decisions on investments to add value and settling on a smart price at which to sell.
