WWe will help you set a realistic selling price to attract buyers. A
professional appraisal is a very valuable negotiating tool.
An independent fee appraisal gives you something concrete to show your
buyer. It is a professional independent third party's evaluation of
your asking price, and not just a property owner's opinion of value.
Potential buyers know owners have an emotional attachment to their
property and the buyer will accept more credibility from a professional
appraiser's evaluation.
If
you’re working with a real estate agent to list your
property, more than likelythey’ll
provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) that lists selected
sales in your area as one of the first steps in determining what to set
as the “Listing Price".
This
step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the
home’s time on the market.
But even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent,
it's probably in your best interest to have an "objective"
third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.And that’s where we come in. We can provide you with a pre-listing
appraisal so both 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 as they're commonly called, "Comps". In addition to helping you
set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a
professional appraisal can:
- Be a very
valuable negotiating tool once you have a potential buyer
- Impress
buyer’s with written proof of your home’s condition
inside and out
- Make yourself
aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might
delay a closing
- Decrease the
chances of unknown problems that cause sales to fall through
- Eliminate the
wait for the buyer or their mortgage company to get the appraisal done
on their own
- Once you have a
buyer you can close quickly because one important step in the process
of closing is already done.
Many
people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their
home is much more than they thought, 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. Others
have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal
helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will
not attract buyers, which
means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time,
money, and efforts.
Improvements
to add value
In
addition to “how much?”, there may be other
important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like ''Would it
be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?”,
''Should I put in that third bathroom?'', ''Should I complete my
kitchen remodel?'' Many
things which we do to our houses have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of
them have an equal effect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the
appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify
the expense.
We can step in and help make these decisions. Unlike a real estate
agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house
sells for. Our
appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report and not a
percentage of the sales price. So a professional appraisal can often
help homeowners make the best decisions on investing in their homes and
setting a fair sales price.
As
a Real Estate Investor and Builder, we have purchased and sold several
million dollars in real estate. It makes good business sense to have an
appraisal on hand before negotiating with a buyer.
