Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from ValPros

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

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes comparable sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

In our opinion, however, you might also wish to consider an appraisal from a licensed professional who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced agent.

And that's where ValPros can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".


	Using a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get an exact listing price for your home in today's ever-changing market. Contact us today.

ValPros can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in buyers, and we can also:

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. 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 will not attract serious buyers, which means you waste time and money and still have no offers. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that third bathroom... Should I finish my closet remodel... Virtually any project can influence value in some way. But each thing impacts value differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We can step in and help you make these important decisions. ValPros appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price -- our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sales price, A professional appraisal from us helps homeowners make the sharpest decisions.
