Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Absolute Appraisal 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 an appraisal from Absolute Appraisal Inc. actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, 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 serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

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

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

In our opinion, however, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where Absolute Appraisal Inc. can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

A polished appraisal from Absolute Appraisal Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we'll also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's condition inside and out to wow potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Decrease the chances of unexpected quandaries that cause negotiations to flop
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

Absolute Appraisal Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might 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.

We can step in and help you make these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
