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 a lot more than they expected, 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. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's estimated value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract 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. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property sits on the market.

In today's fluctuating market, hiring a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get an exact listing price for your home.

Are you 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 includes a list of sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in 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.

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

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

An efficient appraisal from Paradigm Appraisal Group, Inc can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we'll also:

Help provide expert advice when negotiating once you have found a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your house's state inside and out to blow away potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Decrease the chances of unexpected obstacles that cause the process to go up in smoke
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal can be underwritten.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out the costs involved before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
