Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from Daily 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 much more than they had planned, 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. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property won't attract interested 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 home sits on the market.

In today's ever-changing market, using a licensed appraiser is the #1 way to get a just listing price for your home.

If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your home, then you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays comparable sale homes in your local area. It's a customary starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a vital (and very common) step if your goals are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's also advantageous to have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value prior to signing a Listing Agreement, even if you are working with an experienced agent.

And that's where Daily Appraisal comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your real estate agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

Daily Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will interest buyers, and we can also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you find a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out
Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make you aware of problems that might delay your closing
Reduce chances of unknown quandaries that can cause your sale to crumble
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten.

Improvements that add value to your home

Daily Appraisal can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Do I need to finish my kitchen remodel?" You may not realize it, but everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But everything will affect it in a different way. Remodeling your kitchen might improve your home's appeal, but be sure to figure out expenses before diving in. It might not justify the time and costs involved.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers don't have any vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent do. Our fees are based on efforts to complete the report, and not a percentage of your home's sale price.
