Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from P C Appraisal Services

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 from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a just listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your home, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing houses for sale in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very common) step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

But even if you have been 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.

That's where P C Appraisal Services comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your home will entice potential buyers. A polished appraisal from P C Appraisal Services can:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unexpected disputes that can cause sales to fall through
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

P C Appraisal Services can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. 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 closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.
