Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Reds 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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract 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 on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

With today's fluctuating market conditions, you should definitely considering hiring a licensed appraiser to get an exact listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your home? More than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

Even if you have been working with an expert real estate agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Reds Appraisal Service can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

Reds Appraisal Service can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found a prospective buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unexpected difficulties that can cause your sale to crumble
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Reds Appraisal Service appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
