Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Giles Appraisal Group, Inc

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 a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a just listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your house? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a really important step.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement, even if you have hired an experienced real estate agent.

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

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers. A knowledgeable appraisal from Giles Appraisal Group, Inc can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to blow away buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay a closing
Decrease the chances of unexpected complications that cause the process to break down
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete 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 your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
