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.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their house is much more than they had planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these sellers to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. There are also plenty of home 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 serious buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. All the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your property is still sitting on the market.

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your property, more than likely, you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar houses for sale in your local area. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to minimize the house's time on the market and maximize your profit, this is a really important step.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement, even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both 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".

Provide written proof of your house's shape inside and out to impress potential buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles

Improvements to add value to your home

There are other important questions you should ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", before 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 new bathroom?", "Do I need to complete my closet remodel?" Many things which we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it might not justify the expenses involved.

We'll step in and help you make these important decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like an agent do. Our fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
