Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Premier Appraisals, Inc.

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 a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value 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 potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get an exact listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar sales in your town. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

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

And that's where Premier Appraisals, Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Premier Appraisals, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house.
