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 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. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

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

If you're working with an agent to sell your property, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sales houses in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding 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 really important step.

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

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

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic price to sell so your house will appeal to buyers. A qualified appraisal from Anglum Appraisal can:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a potential buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's state inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Reduce chances of unexpected problems that can cause sales to fold
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal will close.
