Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from RJE Real Estate Appraisal Service

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

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them 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 much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

Are you working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing sales in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding 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.

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

That's where we come in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your home will entice potential buyers. A skillful appraisal from RJE Real Estate Appraisal Service can:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unexpected issues that can cause sales to break down
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

RJE Real Estate Appraisal Service can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new 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 everything will 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.
