Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Keller Appraisal

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sales houses in your local 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 standard process.

Even if you have hired an expert agent, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where Keller Appraisal comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract potential buyers, which means you throw away time and money and are left with no offers. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

Home improvements that add value

Keller Appraisal can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it... Should I complete my closet remodel... Almost any project can influence value in some way. But each thing affects value differently. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your costs before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- your fee to us is based on efforts to complete your report. A professional appraisal from Keller Appraisal will help homeowners make the best-informed decisions on investments to add value and deciding on a smart listing price.
