Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Colliver Appraisal Service

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If 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 includes a list of sale homes in your area. It's a good starting point in deciding your home's listing price. For anyone looking to get most profit out of their house, which includes not having it for sale too long, this is a standard process.

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

And that's where Colliver Appraisal Service comes in! We can 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 home's features.

In today's adapting market, appointing a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a just listing price for your home. Contact us today.

So many people are blown away when they find out that the market value of their house is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these sellers to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house won't attract buyers, which means you waste time and (not to mention) money and are left with no offers. Every month your home stays on the market is another month you have to pay the mortgage.

Home improvements that add value

In addition to "how much?", there may be other equally important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Should I put in that new bathroom... Should I complete my closet remodel... Practically any project can influence value in some way. But, not all of them have an effect commensurate with their cost. While a kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, it may not add nearly enough to the value to justify the expenses.

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 on commission will. An appraisal fee from Colliver Appraisal Service is based on our efforts to finalize the report, and are not a percentage of your home's sale price. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sales price, A professional appraisal from us will help homeowners make the sharpest decisions.
