Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from P C Appraisal Services

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 sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much 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. Overpriced homes do not attract serious 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 the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a factual listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a vital step.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've 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 agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will entice buyers. A skillful appraisal from P C Appraisal Services can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to impress buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Decrease the chances of unexpected difficulties that cause the process to deteriorate
