Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Prestige Real Estate Services, LLC

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 much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's 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 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 its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the number one way to get an exact listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to list your property? Quite often you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays competing homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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

And that's where Prestige Real Estate Services, LLC can help you! 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 house's features.

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you find a prospective buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
