Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from ASAP Appraisal Group

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 much more than they thought, 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. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do 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 house is sitting still on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to list your house? Quite often they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement, even if you have been working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come 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 comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your house will charm potential buyers. A professional appraisal from ASAP Appraisal Group can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find an interested buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's quality inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unknown problems that can cause your sale to fold
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Improvements to add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to 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 not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
