Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Accurate Valuation LLC

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 house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's evolving market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a just listing price for your home.

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

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

That's where Accurate Valuation LLC comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Accurate Valuation LLC can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will attract buyers, and we can also:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to wow potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unknown messes that can cause sales to fold
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll step in and help you make these decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent do. Your fee to us is based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
