Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact 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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in an appraisal from Anglum Appraisal actually allowed them 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 a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

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

Working with an agent to list your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes competing houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when 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 natural move.

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

That's where Anglum Appraisal comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

In addition to helping you decide on a realistic price to sell so your house will intrigue potential buyers. A professional appraisal from Anglum Appraisal can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unexpected quandaries that can cause sales to fizzle
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. 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 complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them 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.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. 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 the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
