Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Erin Wallace Appraisal Service

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. Working with an agent to sell your property? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar sales in your town. It's a customary starting point in 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 standard process.

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 before signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where Erin Wallace Appraisal Service comes in! We can 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 house's features.

An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not 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 on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Should I finish my closet remodel... Nearly any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
