Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Alliance Appraisal, Inc.

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 house is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price 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 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 its mortgage. And in the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

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

Working with a real estate agent to sell your home? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes similar homes for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

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 of value before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Alliance Appraisal, Inc. comes in! 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.

An expert appraisal from Alliance Appraisal, Inc. can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will bring in potential buyers, and we'll also:

Be an extremely valuable negotiating tool once you have an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to impress potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected obstacles that can cause sales to fold
Cut out the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before listing your house. You should ask yourself questions like "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
