Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from INTEGRITY APPRAISERS

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 a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home 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. Overpriced homes will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while 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.

If you're working with a real estate agent to list your house, more than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected sales in your local area. It's a good starting point when 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.

But even if you're working with an experienced agent , it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where INTEGRITY APPRAISERS comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

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

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Reduce chances of unexpected headaches that can cause sales to go up in smoke
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. Questions like "Should we paint the whole 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. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. INTEGRITY APPRAISERS appraisers have no vested interest in the amount the home sells for, unlike an agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
