Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from ASAP Appraisal Group

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers 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 a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a precise listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

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

A professional appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm buyers, and we'll also:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Decrease the chances of unknown problems that cause the process to break down
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. ASAP Appraisal Group appraisers have no vested interest in the amount your house sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
