Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from (208) 782-0233

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'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people 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 a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market.

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 before signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where (208) 782-0233 comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Home improvements that add value

(208) 782-0233 can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?"

A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
