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.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers 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 price value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract interested 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 its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

In today's changing market, using 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, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes comparable homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a logical process.

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

And that's where P C Appraisal Services comes in! We'll 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 home's features.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your house. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your costs before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
