Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Personal Service Realty's Residential Valuation Group

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

If you're working with a real estate agent to list 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 houses in your local area. It's a good starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you've hired the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before signing the Listing Agreement.

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


	With today's evolving market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a fair listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Personal Service Realty's Residential Valuation Group can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm buyers, and we can also:

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Personal Service Realty's Residential Valuation Group actually allowed them 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 realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract interested buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your home sits on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

There are many important questions to ask yourself before listing your home -- and Personal Service Realty's Residential Valuation Group can help with that. Should we paint the entire house before we sell it... Should I finish my kitchen remodel... Nearly any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have an equal impact. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

Need help making some of these important decisions? We're here for you. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike a real estate agent. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report, and not a percentage of the sales price. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sale price, a professional appraisal from Personal Service Realty's Residential Valuation Group will help homeowners like you make the best decisions.
