Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Visser Appraisals, Ltd.

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

Are you working with an agent to sell your home? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (or CMA) that includes selected homes for sale in your area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very logical) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

Even if you have hired an accomplished agent, it's in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before signing the Listing Agreement.

And that's where Visser Appraisals, Ltd. can help you! We'll perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your house's features.


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

We're also experienced in helping you set a realistic selling price so your home will entice potential buyers, a qualified appraisal from Visser Appraisals, Ltd. can:

Be a very valuable negotiating tool once you have a a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's shape inside and out to impress potential buyers
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unknown predicaments that can cause sales to fall through
Eliminate the wait for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their house is more than they estimated, 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. An appraisal helps those who have an inflated opinion of their home's price value to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Every month your house sits on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Improvements to add value to your home

Visser Appraisals, Ltd. can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Would it help to put in that new bathroom... Should I complete my kitchen remodel... Virtually any project has the potential to affect value in some way. But each thing affects marketability differently. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify your expenses.

We'll help you make some of these decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. An appraisal fee from Visser Appraisals, Ltd. is based on our efforts to finalize the report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. So a professional appraisal from Visser Appraisals, Ltd. helps you make the best-informed decisions when it comes to investments to add value and setting a smart sales price.
