Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact (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.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from (208) 782-0233 actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential 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 its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the best 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 a CMA) that displays comparable sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you're working with the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where (208) 782-0233 can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will attract potential buyers. An efficient appraisal from (208) 782-0233 can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to impress potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unexpected quandaries that can cause your sale to fold

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.
