Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Allstate Appraisal, Inc.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Allstate Appraisal, Inc. actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-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 do not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a correct listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays selected sales houses 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 logical process.

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

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

Allstate Appraisal, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we can also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have a prospective buyer
Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unknown quandaries that can cause your sale to flop
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Improvements that add value to your home

Allstate Appraisal, Inc. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself 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 finish my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
