Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Paradigm Appraisal Group, 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 home 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 over-inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes will 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 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 house is still sitting on the market.

In today's adapting market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the perfect way to get a proper listing price for your home.

If you're working with an agent to list your property, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays similar houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your intentions are to maximize profit and minimize your 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 signing a Listing Agreement.

And that's where Paradigm Appraisal Group, Inc can help you! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your house's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Paradigm Appraisal Group, Inc can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we can also:

Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have an interested buyer
Blow away buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
Eliminate repair hassles at the eleventh hour and make you aware of problems
Reduce chances of unknown problems that can cause sales to fizzle
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before 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?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Paradigm Appraisal Group, Inc appraisers have no vested interest in what amount your house sells for, unlike an agent. Your fee to us is based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
