Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from RAW Appraisal

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'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal can allow sellers to get more than 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 can help them realistically price their home in order for it to sell. Overpriced homes do not attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. 

With today's ever-changing market conditions, we highly recommend hiring an appraiser to get an expert and realistic listing price for your home.

Working with an agent to list your property? Then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes comparable sales in your area. It's a good starting point when determining your home's listing price. 

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

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

In addition to assisting you with setting a realistic selling price, an appraisal from RAW Appraisal can:

  • Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find an interested buyer
  • Wow potential buyers with written proof of your house's condition inside and out
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems
  • Cut down the chances of unexpected obstacles that can cause your sale to be delayed or fall through

Improvements to Increase Your Home's Value

RAW Appraisal can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house or refinancing. Asking yourself,  "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?"

 You may not realize it, but a lot of what we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect - and in some cases, the money you put into it may not equal what you get out of it. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay. We can give you the most information based on real market data to help you make some of these decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent does, or your refinancing value. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, not a percentage of your home's sale price and if the deal or loan go through. Consulting an appraiser before investing in your home will help give an idea of how making that specific change could affect your home's value.
