Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Integrity Appraisals, LLC

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Integrity Appraisals, LLC actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value 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 no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits 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 ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get a precise listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your home, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays similar houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a crucial step.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Integrity Appraisals, LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's condition inside and out to impress potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. Questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve the appeal of a home, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
