Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Accredited Appraisals

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Accredited Appraisals actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract serious 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. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's adapting market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an exact listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sales houses in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a really important step.

Even if you've hired the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Accredited Appraisals comes in! We'll 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.

An expert appraisal from Accredited Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we'll also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to wow potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unknown headaches that can cause sales to fold
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete 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 may improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Accredited Appraisals will step in and help make these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
