Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from NE AL Appraisals

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 an appraisal from NE AL Appraisals actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract interested 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 all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Using a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Are you working with an agent to sell your house? Quite often you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays selected sales in your town. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

But even if you've hired an expert agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where NE AL Appraisals comes 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 home's features.

NE AL Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we can also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to wow potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unknown predicaments that cause the process to break down
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
