Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Giles 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 home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from Giles Appraisal Group, Inc actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them 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. Every month your home sits on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home is sitting still on the market.

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

Working with an agent to sell your home? Then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that displays comparable houses for sale in your town. It's a good starting point when deciding your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced real estate 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 Giles Appraisal Group, Inc comes in! We'll do 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".

Home improvements that add value

There are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your property. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my closet remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses can affect their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect.
