Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Accurate Valuation LLC

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an expert listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes comparable sales in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you are working with the most experienced agent.

And that's where Accurate Valuation LLC comes in! We'll do 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 home's features.

A polished appraisal from Accurate Valuation LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will intrigue buyers, and we'll also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected problems that can cause your sale to fall through
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we 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?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

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. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
