Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals

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'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an 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 don't attract potential 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's changing market.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your house, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays competing homes for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when determining 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 natural process.

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

And that's where Accurate Value Real Estate Appraisals 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 house's features.
