Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Salt Lake Appraising Company

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 home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract serious 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 sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes competing sales in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the house's time on the market, this is a really important step.

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

That's where Salt Lake Appraising Company comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

We're also experienced in assisting you with setting a realistic price to sell so your house will entice potential buyers. An efficient appraisal from Salt Lake Appraising Company can:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a potential buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to wow potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected messes that can cause your sale to fold
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

Salt Lake Appraising Company can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new 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 not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. An appraisal fee from Salt Lake Appraising Company is based on our efforts to complete the report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price — our fees are based on efforts to complete your report. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Salt Lake Appraising Company. When it comes to investing in your house and settling on a fair sale price, we'll help homeowners make the best decisions.
