Pre-Listing Appraisal Services from All City Appraisal
Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they had planned, so investing in an appraisal from All City Appraisal actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an inflated opinion of their home's value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract serious potential buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. Each month that your home is still sitting on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market. Using a licensed appraiser is the best way to get an expert listing price for your home in today's fluctuating market. Contact us todayIf you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, then they'll provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that displays similar sale homes in your local area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. This is a really important (and very common) step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market. In our opinion, though, you should also get an appraisal from a professional who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your property - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent. That's where All City Appraisal comes in! We can do a pre-listing appraisal so both 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. A knowledgeable appraisal from All City Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we'll also:
Home improvements that add valueThere are other important questions to ask yourself, in addition to "how much?", prior to listing your home. Ask yourself "Should we paint the outside of the house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that third bathroom?", "Should I complete my kitchen remodel?" Many things that we do to our houses have an effect on their value. But, not all of them have an equal affect. While a kitchen remodel may improve your home's appeal, it might not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses. We can step in and help make these important decisions. Unlike an agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price.

Our fees are not a percentage of the sales price — our fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair price to sell at, a professional appraisal from us helps homeowners like you make the sharpest decisions.
