Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Johnson Real Estate Appraisals

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with An agent to list your home, then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your town. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This step is vital if you're going to minimize your home's time on the market and maximize your profit.

In our opinion, though, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both 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.

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a skillful listing price for your home. Contact us today.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes don't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and Johnson Real Estate Appraisals can help with that. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel... Practically any project can influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. 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 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 complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Johnson Real Estate Appraisals. When it comes to investing in your home and settling on a fair price to sell at, we'll help homeowners like you make the smartest decisions.
