Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Appraisal Development 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 house is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Appraisal Development Inc actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a proper listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your home, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes a list of sale homes in your area. It's a customary starting point when 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 logical process.

Even if you have hired the most experienced real estate agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where Appraisal Development Inc comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions you should 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?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses have an effect on 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 the expenses.
