Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Appraisal Connect, 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 home is more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Appraisal Connect, LLC actually allowed these people 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 estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to sell your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining 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.

Even if you are working with the most accomplished real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Appraisal Connect, LLC comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so 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".

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your home will draw in buyers. An efficient appraisal from Appraisal Connect, LLC can:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found an interested buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unexpected predicaments that can cause your sale to fizzle

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.
