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 house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from P C Appraisal Services actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential 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 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 still sitting on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get an accurate listing price for your home.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes comparable houses for sale in your town. It's a good 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 logical process.

But even if you are working with an experienced real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where P C Appraisal Services can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A polished appraisal from P C Appraisal Services can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue potential buyers, and we'll also:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected dilemmas that can cause sales to flop
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen 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. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.
