Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact H. Appraisals, Inc.

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

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. 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. Overpriced homes don't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a true listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sales in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to blow away potential buyers

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
