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 a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Anderson Appraisal, LLC actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price 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 the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a correct listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your home, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when 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're working with the most accomplished real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Anderson Appraisal, LLC comes in! 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 comp sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic price to sell so your house will interest potential buyers. A professional appraisal from Anderson Appraisal, LLC can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Cut down the chances of unexpected problems that can cause your sale to deteriorate

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
