Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Home Appraisals, Inc.
Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sales in your area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

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 Home Appraisals, Inc. actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.
Home improvements that add value
There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Nearly any project has the potential to influence value in some way. But not everything will have an equal impact. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
We can step in and help make these important decisions. Home Appraisals, Inc. appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. When it comes to investing in your house and setting a fair sale price, a professional appraisal from Home Appraisals, Inc. will help you make the decisions.
