Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Sun Point Appraisals, 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 house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in an appraisal from Sun Point Appraisals, Inc. actually allowed them to get several thousand dollars over what they thought they'd get for their home. An appraisal helps those who have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract potential 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 the mortgage. In the meantime, you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is still sitting on the market.

With today's changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a true listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays competing sales in your local area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your main objectives are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you're working with an accomplished agent , it's in your best interest to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing the Listing Agreement.

That's where Sun Point Appraisals, Inc. comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to blow away buyers

Improvements to add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can have an effect on their value. Unfortunately, not all of them have an equal affect. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It may not justify the time and costs involved.
