Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from All South Appraisals

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

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from All South Appraisals actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is still sitting on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the top way to get an expert listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes selected homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding 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 standard move.

Even if you're working with the most experienced real estate agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement.

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

An efficient appraisal from All South Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to buyers, and we'll also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you find an interested buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's shape inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unknown quandaries that cause negotiations to fall through
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We can step in and help you make these decisions. All South Appraisals appraisers have no vested interest in what amount the home sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
