Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Stephanie Soscia

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 An agent to list your house, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that includes selected sales in your town. It's a customary 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.

In our opinion, though, you might also wish to consider a pre-listing appraisal from someone who's sole occupation is to analyze real estate - BEFORE listing your home - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where we come in! We'll do a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent both have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comp sales and an accurate description of your house's features.

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

A qualified appraisal from Stephanie Soscia can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will draw in buyers, and we'll also:
  • Be a valuable negotiating tool once you find a a prospective buyer
  • Impress buyers with written proof of your home's shape inside and out

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 from us actually allowed them 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 estimated value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract serious potential buyers, which means you throw away time and (not to mention) money and still have no prospects for buying your home. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage.

Improvements that add value to your home

In addition to "how much?", there may be more important questions to ask yourself before listing your property. Ask yourself "Should we paint the whole house before we sell it?", "Would it help to put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my kitchen remodel?" Everything we do to our houses can affect their value. But not everything will have an equal affect. A kitchen remodel might improve your home's appeal, but it may not justify the expenses involved.
