Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Anglum Appraisal

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 much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Anglum Appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract interested 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 changing market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a solid listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sale homes in your local area. It's a good starting point in 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 move.

Even if you've hired the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Anglum Appraisal comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

We're also experienced in helping you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers. A qualified appraisal from Anglum Appraisal can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you find a prospective buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's quality inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unexpected dilemmas that can cause sales to fizzle
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
