Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Appraisal Pro Group

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 house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract 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 you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an expert listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays competing homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point when deciding 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 standard move.

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

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

Appraisal Pro Group can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unknown messes that can cause your sale to fold
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can 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 the expenses.

Our fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
