Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Mike Noble Appraisals

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 these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a factual listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays similar sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a vital step.

Even if you have been working with an accomplished agent , it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Mike Noble Appraisals can help you! 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.

A polished appraisal from Mike Noble Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we'll also:

  • Help provide advice when negotiating once you find an interested buyer
  • Blow away potential buyers with written proof of your house's state inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
  • Reduce chances of unexpected problems that can cause your sale to go up in smoke
  • Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the sale will go through.

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Mike Noble Appraisals can help you with these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. Our fees are based on efforts to finalize your report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
