Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Premier Appraisals, Inc.

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 house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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. Overpriced homes don't attract serious 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 the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get a fair listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market.

Working with an agent to list your house? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing sale homes in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

And that's where Premier Appraisals, Inc. comes in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic selling price so your house will draw in potential buyers. An efficient appraisal from Premier Appraisals, Inc. can:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to impress potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unexpected issues that can cause sales to deteriorate
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

Premier Appraisals, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might 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.

We'll step in and help you make these decisions. Premier Appraisals, Inc. appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
