Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Appraisals Plus LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

If you're working with An agent to list your home, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of houses for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you have hired an expert agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Appraisals Plus LLC comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate 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 #1 way to get an exact listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Almost any project can affect value in some way. But each thing impacts value differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair sale price, a professional appraisal from Appraisals Plus LLC helps you make the sharpest decisions.
