Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Avalon Park Inc. Residential Appraisal Division

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 more than they estimated, so investing in an appraisal from Avalon Park Inc. Residential Appraisal Division actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an 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 potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a solid listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a really important step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you have hired the most experienced real estate agent.

That's where Avalon Park Inc. Residential Appraisal Division comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to blow away buyers

Reduce chances of unknown difficulties that can cause your sale to fold

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.
