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 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. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious 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 property sits on the market.

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a true listing price for your home.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes similar sale homes in your local area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is crucial if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market.

In our opinion, though, you should also get an appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to putting your home on the market - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

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

Anglum Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm potential buyers, and we can also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you find a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unexpected headaches that can cause sales to flop
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Improvements to add value to your home

Anglum Appraisal can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

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