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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from P C Appraisal Services 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will not attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to list your property? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays selected sale homes in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a really important step.

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

And that's where P C Appraisal Services can help you! We can do 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.

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

  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have a prospective buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
  • Cut down the chances of unknown problems that can cause your sale to break down
  • Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll step in and help you make these decisions. P C Appraisal Services appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your house sells for, unlike an agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
