Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Audas Appraisals

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they thought, so investing in an appraisal from Audas Appraisals actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of sellers who think their home is worth a lot more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely appoint a licensed appraiser to get a skillful listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to sell your house, more than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays competing houses for sale in your local area. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign a Listing Agreement, even if you are working with an experienced agent.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Audas Appraisals can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice buyers, and we can also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have an interested buyer
Wow potential buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour
Cut down the chances of unknown headaches that can cause your sale to crumble
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements to add value

Audas Appraisals can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my kitchen 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. A kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
