Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Lake Conroe 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 much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

In today's evolving market, using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a correct listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your property, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales houses in your town. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a natural process.

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

And that's where Lake Conroe Appraisals LLC can help you! We'll do 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.

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price so your home will entice buyers. A polished appraisal from Lake Conroe Appraisals LLC can:

Be a valuable negotiating tool once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Cut down the chances of unknown issues that can cause sales to fall through

Improvements to add value

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your property. You should ask yourself questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things which 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 might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.
