Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Coleman Appraisals, LLC

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 actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth much 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 house won't attract serious potential buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a solid listing price for your home in today's evolving market.

Are you working with a real estate agent to list your house? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've hired the most experienced agent, it's in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where Coleman Appraisals, LLC comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

 

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price.
