Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Abandy & Associates Appraisal Services

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 home, then they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes a list of sale homes in your area. It's a customary starting point when determining 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.

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

That's where Abandy & Associates Appraisal Services comes in! We'll do 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".


	With today's adapting market conditions, you should definitely hire a licensed appraiser to get a sharp listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is much more than they thought, so investing in a professional appraisal 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 value and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced home will not attract interested buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house sits on the market.

Improvements to add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Would it be better to paint the whole house before we sell it... Does the fence need replacing... Do I need to finish my closet remodel... Almost any project will influence value in some way. But, not all of them have an impact commensurate with their cost. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it might not justify the costs you'd pay.

We'll help you make some of these important decisions. An appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for, unlike an agent. An appraisal fee from Abandy & Associates Appraisal Services is based on our efforts to complete your report, and are not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Abandy & Associates Appraisal Services. When it comes to investing in your home and deciding on a fair sale price, we'll help you make the best decisions.
