Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact BOB'S 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.

Are you working with an agent to sell your property? More than likely, you can expect them to provide you with a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes similar sales in your local area. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize the home's time on the market, this is a crucial step.

Even if you've been working with the most experienced agent, it's definitely in your best interest to also have an "objective" third-party's opinion of value before you sign a Listing Agreement.

That's where BOB'S APPRAISAL SERVICE comes in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".


	Using a licensed appraiser is the top way to get a factual listing price for your home in today's adapting market. Contact us today.

BOB'S APPRAISAL SERVICE can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we can also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have found a an interested buyer
Provide written proof of your house's quality inside and out to blow away potential buyers

Decrease the chances of unknown disputes that cause negotiations to break down
Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have confidence the deal can be underwritten

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they'd planned, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed these people 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 amount of value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home won't attract potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) 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 its mortgage.

Improvements to add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your house. Would it be better to paint the outside of the house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Almost any project can influence value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. Appraisers have no vested interest in your final selling price, like a real estate agent on commission will. Our fees are not a percentage of your home's sale price -- our appraisal fees are based on efforts to finalize the report. So a professional appraisal from BOB'S APPRAISAL SERVICE will help you make the sharpest decisions when it comes to investments to add value and settling on a profit-maximizing sales price.
