Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Appraisal Connect, LLC

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 home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a sharp listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? Quite often you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sales houses in your area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

But even if you are working with an experienced agent , it's definitely in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where Appraisal Connect, LLC comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so 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.

Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Appraisal Connect, LLC can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
