Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Absolute 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.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Absolute Appraisal Services, LLC 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 price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get an exact listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your house, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable houses for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you have hired an experienced agent.

And that's where Absolute Appraisal Services, LLC can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Absolute Appraisal Services, LLC can:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have a prospective buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
