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 much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract interested 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 the mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is sitting still on the market.

With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a correct listing price for your home.

Are you working with an agent to sell your house? More than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays a list of homes for sale in your area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. This step is really important if you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your home's time on the market.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Mike Noble Appraisals can help you! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Mike Noble Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will appeal to potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide tips to help you negotiate once you have found an interested buyer
Impress potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Decrease the chances of unexpected predicaments that cause negotiations to fizzle

Improvements to add value

Mike Noble Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Questions like "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen may improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out your expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
