Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Anderson Appraisal, LLC

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 home is more than they estimated, 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. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value 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. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's adapting market.

Working with a real estate agent to list your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of homes for sale in your town. It's a good 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 natural process.

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

That's where Anderson Appraisal, LLC comes in! We can do 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".

Improvements to add value to your home

Anderson Appraisal, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?"

Remodeling your kitchen might improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out your costs before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
